Well, that's easier said then done. First, you have lots of people living in one country and commuting to work over the border. Second, the economy is so integrated that closing the borders or even introducing border checks leads to major economic disruptions. Third, in democratic countries you'll have those pesky people asking you if all these limitations are really necessary and not an undue restriction of their constitutional rights, so it will probably end up before the supreme court...

The basic problem i see with "Get to Zero" is that it's an extreme position, and politicians always tend to find a compromise in everything they do. So unless you can get everyone to agree to this goal, it's simply not realistic in a democracy, regardless of the scientific merit.

CP is a very touchy subject. But if we really wanted to solve the problem we shouldn't focus on someone accidentally seeing (and thus caching) CP on their device.

CP should be removed at the source, by doing everything we can to take care of kids and preventing abuse and related photography. And CP trading rings should be busted.

But individual pedophiles should be helped with their mental health issues before they act and become pederasts. The subject is so toxic that nobody dares go to a therapist with their issues. There was a recent documentary about it: https://www.idfa.nl/en/film/bb3cd43c-169a-48db-9fd6-e4cbae0d...

Coming back to crypto. Who cares if the images are shared using crypto or on paper or on usb sticks? Once you find a pederast, law enforcement should convince (without torture or similar tricks, offering therapy and help will probably be more effective) them to help expose their network.

I don't understand why the gemini people don't just use http 1.0 (+ host) with html (or plaintext/markdown/whatever even, without js/css). Seems like a case of NIH to me. Don't get me wrong, I am not against "reinventing the wheel" for a toy project or to learn but gemini seems to have become more popular than just that. If someone is really tired of the modern web I would suggest to them a distributed alternative rather than this.
I've seen massive government contracts where "Big Consul" has some guy who does nothing else than take all documentation from the previous "Big Consul" and rewrites it according to their own internal format, and they bill €150 an hour for it, for months...

I'm saying it's not true in the general case either. In fact, taking into account other things I've said, my claim is that Synapse can easily run on a home computer or a relatively cheap/weak VPS.

What factors led to the effectiveness of the Melbourne lockdown? Choices are things like compliance, geography, particulars of the rules (8pm curfew, 5km movement radius), enough of a population that is able to work from home, enough economic support for those who couldn’t (job keeper etc) - to slow down population mixing and interrupt transmission chains. Contact tracing was overhauled midway through and that coincides with the turnaround [0,1].

Would those measures work in similarly-high-density cities? The awkward fact is that most of the cases in greater Melbourne were outside the densely-populated CBD [2], that much of the transmission occurred in lower-paid (McDonalds) and less-safe (meatpacking) workplaces, people whose home language was not English, as well as in shared living conditions.

There’s a temptation to fit the data to the narrative you want, but (as far as I’m aware) the data you’d need to pick any one of these factors as conclusive hasn’t been released. Gestures in the direction of geography as the _one thing_ that enabled elimination are silly and ignore the vast amount of effort and personal sacrifice and organisation and argument and collaboration that went into that result.

Lockdowns do work — even if that’s not quite the end of the story.

So then you agree that there could be situations where only a couple percent of the ownership of a company is available on the market, and if you buy all of those shares, then you would not control the company?

As in, you agree than a couple insiders could control a large majority of a company, and that this percentages of the company would not be on the open market, and therefore even if you buy all of the shares that are available on the open market (and the definition that I am using would disclude these shares owned by these insiders), you would not control the company?

I find articles like this fascinating because to me they are indicative of just how substantial the magnitude is of the "bounty of capitalism" in the public markets.

On the one hand you have returns available to anyone prepared to invest consistently in the stock market across the last 30 years that are both well documented and very substantial. People like Warren Buffet & boggleheads make data-backed arguments about how well you could have done if you put money in even just broad index-tracking funds.

And yet on the other hand there are two massively powerful groups with materially more leverage and informational "edge" within the system compared to all the people with a 401K. These are the executives who actually run the public corporations (and can choose their own compensation as a class via board/exec rotation & internal influence) and the financial firms that are embedded both in the firms' operation and also essentially setting/playing the rules of the meta-game as evidenced by articles like this.

It feels like the fact that there are any returns left for a retail investor in public stock market investing speaks more to the quantities of wealth creation taking place than the absence of this sort of outrageous market rule capture.

Two disclaimers: 1.) the slider for wealth "creation" on the public markets in the US seems fairly obviously to be being dragged from innovation to ZIRP... whole separate matter. 2.) at a whole-society level obviously the availability of public market returns is limited to a tiny sliver of the population with the means to invest, so when I say "bounty of capitalism" above I'm more referring just to the sum of financial profits as a result of the system.
Oh my god, they don't even bother implementing the app any more...

It reminds me of my first App Store experience. I made an app that was somewhat successful (about 2000€ a month, enough to pay for a students living expenses).

Within short time, a chinese speaking developer cloned it. They copied the icon (slighlty different color), they copied the UI, they even copied all the text in the dialog boxes. They released the app with a slightly different name.

I contacted Apple to complain about the obvious copyright infringement, but they only forwarded my complaint to the developer. Interestingly enough, the developer actually replied to me. They sent an email threating legal action. I asked them to at least change the icon, and they did. But until today, the rest of the cloned app is still on the app store and competes with my app.

It's not comparable to your case, since in my case the competitor wasn't a scammer, just someone with a very lose interpretation of intellectual property.

But it makes me feel that Apple really doesn't give a shit what goes on in their store, as long as they make their 30%. (or 15% from small fish like me now)
I think this is the first instance of plot armor protecting exclusively against financial loss.
> it seems like if a large number of people suddenly started demanding share certificates, this could cause problems for DTC

No it wouldn’t. You would be delivered shares within two days as is required. Lots of institutions don’t hold their shares “in street name,” i.e. they hold them in their own. And some people still demand physical certification. (Not every issuer supports this, largely due to exchange rules.)

The authoritarian worship in this comment really says enough about the totalitarianism of your country.

Police are public servants. As such everything they do or say should be held under perjury. Police, leaders, government officials, lawyers, judges should know more about the laws than average citizens to.

Being in a position of authority and having that power should come great responsibility, so great in fact that you should have to serve 3x the prison sentence for betraying that trust.

Same should go as well for ethics violations for clergy, medical professionals, teachers, etc.

you said earlier if it was your family who was murdered you'd hope the police would do something, no?

What if it was the police who murdered your family? In L.A. the police are in actual "cliques" which are basically "gangs" with special tattoos and other gang related rights of passage.

How do you trust the police when https://reddit.com/r/policebrutality2020 has thousands of links of police hurting people, yet when people in the "in group" that they respect (white nationalists) try to destroy the foundations of our democracy, they step aside and let it happen?

Yes, and I guess it somehow went wrong.

When A borrows a share, they sell it to D. Now as far as anyone knows, both A and D own a share but in fact only one exists. The extra sale from A to D also influences the stock price. What some consider bets are creating actual volume on the exchange, along with temporary dilution of shates.

While in the specific scenario it's similar, in theory the 2nd scenario can be repeated an infinite number of times since it doesn't need to be tied to a "physical" share.

This creates the illusion that there's a LOT of people who believe the stock will go down in price, which can affect market sentiment and actually cause real movement when in reality that wouldn't be possible if every short was in fact backed by a real share (which they're trying to do via rules making Naked Shorts illegal).
Apple seems to be far more concerned with getting their (30/15) percent cut than with how that revenue was generated. The App Store is full of such examples. As long as you pay the baron his share and don’t upset him with unwelcome thoughts (Parler) or worldly desires (erotica), you are free to reign.
Not having the ability to do this forces the screenreader to solve the problem, and it's a really hard problem in general - something like "real" that already exists in English but crops up in Spanish contexts fairly frequently is tough, let alone all the proper nouns etc.

let me add some more:

- decouple documents from the transport layer: many web vulnerabilities and complexity are due to the strong connection between http and html

- decouple documents from styling: every document should be legible with any stylsheet (bring back 'userstyle'), cut back css features which lead to nasty things like keylogging via css, transparenting elements for clickjacking, hide text to manipulate clipboard, etc.

I never understood the App Store rating figures. Here's the scam app:

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/keywatch-watch-keyboard/id1499...

Apparently the paid for 5 stars comments have been deleted, all that's left are comments in the 1 star range but the app is still rated 4.1/5. It's not the first time I see this discrepancy and makes it very hard for a user to understand who to believe: the 1 star comments or the very positive rating average?
> In free market economies, shitty companies fail by themselves because their competitors offer better good or services. Short activists don't help make better competitors.

If you want the market to encourage people to investigate fraud and bad news, then they need to be able to profit off of announcing it.

When people don't figure out fraud, the company still suffers eventually but it does so much harder and hurts more people. For example, if Enron's cheating had been exposed a lot earlier it could have been stopped.

Shorting has real and important benefits. And real downsides too, when shorters try to tank companies that had perfectly acceptable fundamentals. But it's definitely a tradeoff, not shorters being parasites.

People can become addicted to anything, I think being addicted to buying watches has got to be a less common than shoes, cameras/lenses, handbags, sneakers, or even sunglasses!

In some ways you're right, there are brands out there that put out short-lived special editions. But equally there are a lot of cheap and readily available pieces which are becoming much more well-known and accessible.

All my watches have been bought used, and if ever I reach a point where one of them no longer makes me smile when I look at it then it will be resold. Sometimes watches appreciate in value, but it is a gamble and I think suggesting somebody buy a watch as an investment has got to be bad advice almost 100% of the time. If they go up, great? If they go down? Well if you enjoyed it for the time you owned it that shouldn't matter so much
Taking that perspective as a starting point - the implication is that the government agents will not be honest and forthright in emergencies. I might be jumping ahead on the argument that, because I already believed this. But I think it follows fairly easily.

If the government is going to lie by omission in an emergency, why should Fauci be held up in any way as a trusted authority figure, role model or person to be admired? Surely we should be searching for figures who are forthright and unflinchingly honest and listening to them in the pandemic instead.

YouTube was putting pressure on people who didn't toe the WHO/Local Government advice. Why is that legitimate if there is a compelling argument that if one of the most visible and trusted faces of the government, Fauci, wasn't being straightforward and vocal?
