The difference is you can clearly do something about Covid and prevent all those deaths, where-as cancer and heart disease we still don't know how to prevent, and what we do know, we are similarly vocal and annoying about: lose weight, exercise, eat healthier, etc.

So it makes sense to mobilize in order to stop the spread of Covid and save all those people from dying from it.

On top of that, Covid has actually outpaced cancer and heart disease to become the number 1 cause of death (https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/covid-19-is-the-nu...) in the US.

Another aspect is long Covid, where it could be 2 to 20 percent especially younger people, have long lasting symptoms. We don't know the real long term risks here. Not knowing is always scarier, people don't want to risk things. Heart Disease and Cancer to some extent are well understood.

Then you have to consider that the Covid death numbers are with all the measures that were put in place to stop it, and with a lot more people getting intensive care which would have died without. What's still unclear is what would death numbers look like if we'd done nothing to stop the spread and breached medical capacity.

Finally, I think Covid is scary, because as a virus it can mutate, and again, that fear kicks in, where you think it's only killing older people, but maybe at anytime there could be a variant that is more lethal and starts skewing things to younger people.

I don't think any of this is related to politics. It all just seems like expected reaction, a contagious disease that kills lots of people, but can be stopped if you could prevent its spread, which has unknown long term effects, and could possibly grow more lethal any day, and which will still screw you over for a few days even as a young lad. I think that's enough to explain the reaction the world over.
Did that depiction strike you as pretending to be true-to-life? If so, I must tell you that I don’t think that was Spielberg’s intention. And as the other response notes, in the film the villainous behavior you refer to was clearly seen as unacceptable to other, equally Indian, characters in the film.

More importantly, even if you were right that what that part of the film was about was “depicting Indians,” what good does this observation do? Are you hoping people will stop enjoying the film and stick to more “reasonable” fare?
Tech Talent Migrates to Collaboration Startups
Just a curious question. What are you supposed to do, legally, if you need a piece of software that is no longer sold by its developer? And you need a particular old version because that's what your hardware is capable of running. Are you supposed to just pretend that artificial scarcity is a thing and accept "you can't get it" as the answer? And can Apple really accuse you of pirating OS9 because you're supposed to download macOS Big Sur instead?

(I'm not from US, and I only have a very vague idea about how the US legal system works)

I recently needed to buy a propane heater. Ordered it online for pickup at Walmart because there was only one left in stock.

Showed up at the Walmart thinking I could just pick it up right away. Turned into a huge big thing. The staff only goes around 1-2 times a day to fulfill these sorts of orders so I would have ended up waiting.

I ended up buying the last one on the shelf, which was mine anyway, and cancelling the online order. I wonder what would have happened if someone else bought it first.

I see this more as iterating on an idea to provide this service, and what I experienced, is the MVP.
I think the problem is that much energy policy originates from california, which has a relatively mild climate.

Additionally in california, peak energy demand seems to be when the sun is very strong in the summer, so solar power matches very well with air conditioning load.

The rest of the united states has weather, so situations like the-dead-of-winter + no-sunshine might be a better fit for fossil fuels.
CyclingAbout has some great experiments in a similar vein. You can scroll to the experimemts section here:

He has a great one about aerodynamics which touches on tire aero as well as luggage and clothing aero. Most of the perspective is around bike touring but it's a fantastic resource. He has dozens of guides too and a comprehensive YouTube touring channel. He does all this stuff while perpetually touring for years, so you know it's from real world experience on the bike.
Businesses collecting identity information is nothing new. Somebody like Stripe putting a concerted effort out there to make it more secure and improve the experience so that identity information is stored in a less ad-hoc way is a win and will reduce the odds of some catastrophic leak. If you are only worried about identity leaks now then you are simply miss-calibrated on your assumptions about the nature of online identities. If you are seriously this worried, then you probably shouldn't be using the internet for anything.

Thank God there's still Reddit.
Basically. There's a small community of IRC. That small community is now going to have a large portion that says "freenode is a nogo". What's the realistic community remaining in freenode? Who's going to donate? invest?

I'm an outsider and wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

Adapting a comment I made in the wrong thread:

This happened right after Freenode banned IRCCloud users following IRCCloud staff statements suggesting users to migrate off Freenode and the launch of competing bouncer services.[0] Regardless of your opinion of IRCCloud, banning all IRCCloud users right after launching a competing service and hearing criticism is not a good look.

Now that most channels are dead and direct users to other networks despite staff's best efforts to quell any criticism (channel migrations+topic-renaming, banning users, etc), I guess they decided to wipe everything and start over to more easily remove any references to Libera/OFTC. In fact, it removes any every reference to anything at all.

If you had a bot that directed users to the actual location of your community, you should check to make sure that it survives this migration (this was probably part of the intent).

If you use Matrix and have left Freenode channels, the IRC-Matrix appservice bridge might still be keeping you connected. To leave Freenode, send a "!quit" message to the Freenode bridge appservice user, @appservice-irc:matrix.org.[1][2]

Post-scarcity is often talked about in binary terms. We've either reached post-scarcity or we haven't.

I believe the transition to post-scarcity will be gradual, that it will happen faster in some sectors of society than others, and that this process may take multiple generations to complete. This has been the case with every other major economic shift, why would it not be the case with post-scarcity?

If this is how the transition to post-scarcity occurs, societies will eventually hit a point at which many people still need to work to produce our economic output, but far fewer than currently do. How will our economic system handle that situation? The selling of labor is the primary mechanism by which we distribute resources, but if we get to a point where only 20% of the adult population are needed in the labor force then how do we distribute resources to the remaining 80%?

Now, where things get really interesting is that "needed in the labor force" is not a binary thing, either. What if there's a big slice of the population from whom we only need five hours of labor a week? And they coexist alongside another slice of the population from whom we need forty hours of labor a week?

Maybe we're already a few steps down this road.
"Collateral Murder" was of no value? Yikes. So much for the judgment of the "rank and file", if we can actually credit your opinions on that. If anyone had ever been harmed as a result of Manning's disclosures, the war media would have trumpeted that story for the last decade. We've never heard a peep about that, so apparently the "jihadists" didn't find anything useful at Wikipedia.

ps. I'm guessing you're referring to the silly "sonic embassy attacks" as the "science" story, but it could have been basically anything else published by the war media in the last several decades.
This is really the natural solution - economic forces do figure things out.

I do wonder about situations like the recent texas fiasco. Maybe we want something like "cheaper at night" not pure economic nonsense like "$9,000/kwh for the next 15 minutes"
Here in Europe 4 burner induction cooktops start at around €350.

There again 95% of new houses here have induction, so the price difference you are seeing is probably because market demand is that much lower in the US.

Most channels have moved to irc.libera.chat so all hope is not lost.
I suspect this last action (setting up the new freenode) was done deliberately before he lost to libera (only hours away)

this allows him to blame the "botched" migration for the resultant failure and loss of users/channels/projects, instead of people wanting nothing to do with him (or the dregs of IRC that form his new staff)
In my humble opinion, the question everyone is asking can be answered, more or less, by examining the following website:

Wow, this is super cool. I love how it shows exact angles and traces the path of the bar. With that weight, you should be doing full reps though ;)

> the program focuses a lot on proper form

That's true, but so much time is spent on proper form for the prescribed movements precisely because they are so complicated.

> starting with relatively light weights, and only increasing weights when you can complete all sets

Which discounts progression via adding volume and keeping the weights relatively constant (which - unless the volume is extreme - is safer), and that's one of my main beefs with it - for people who want to get in shape casually and for whom significant strength increase isn't a primary concern.

But I agree that if you want to get into powerlifting as a sport, Starting Strength is probably not a bad idea for your beginner program. (actual powerlifters might want to chime in on that.)
Funny how things work out... just as the USG was regaining the legal ability to directly control domestic messaging by way of the US media - the media was feverishly working to obliterate the public's trust and ensure that it would take decades to rebuild its reputation. It almost looks intentional, if you are willing to ignore all the mixed messaging and self undermining - evident to any observer with attention span stretching beyond a single news cycle.

Okay so domain privacy isn’t so black and white. It sucks that this is where we are as a society but I don’t want strangers to be able to connect my name with my address in an easily searchable database. Without a domain privacy service I would have to buy a PO Box just to put a website on the internet.

The WHOIS database is an absolutely terrible idea that needs to die as soon as possible. This should have been a proxy service from the beginning. I don’t care if ICANN knows where I live so they can forward abuse mail but they should have never published this info to the public.

Yeah I wasn't gonna make a whole big thing about it, but I didn't pull that out of a hat. I know Varoufakis, but I hadn't heard him talk about techno-feudalism. In fact I'd heard the phrase "neo-feudalism" from people like Jodi Dean and Joel Kotkin, who have good stuff on this (though who's to say - I'm neither an economist nor a historian). I'll try to find YV's stuff and read it, I love him and I'm sure it's well thought out.

Go ahead and wait for "absolute proof" or some other absurd standard to believe something about a novel virus to make up your mind, whatever. You concede in your comment "as well as some amount of reduced transmission", give it up already!

All along following the most obvious path that evidence has lead towards proven to be fruitful, here is another case.. in case you have missed it.
allegedly: hookers and cocaine (in the office), and many, many broken promises
No, because you can make the same argument against any improvement in efficiency and productivity. It's like arguing against division of labor or automation in a factory because less people will be employed by the factory. It's anti-prosperity.

Definitely still available. That segment of the industry has exploded. Another great manufacturer for touring/adventure bikes is Bombtrack.

Many touring/adventure bikes will double as way better commuter than a road bike I feel. They are set up for comfort, long hours in the saddle, and usually have with luggage mounts.

Without commenting on the patent system it is still easy to conclude that Universities shouldnt be in this business

I wonder if this all would have ended differently if Freenode had been purchased and nothing changed initially for 12 months.
I don't know if you would consider it tuning, but a low latency kernel is a massive UX improvement on consumer devices, where you don't want the UI to stutter and lock up under heavy load, and don't mind paying (could be wrong, top of my head) like a 5% throughout penalty.
The press isn't going to devote more money to an article than they expect article will make them back in profit. You'll never see the depth that's being asked for, unless there's some existing scandal that might draw reader attention.
Putting all the electronics right over the hot oven was apparently a tricky problem. Induction cooktops with no oven have been available and inexpensive for a while - this is probably part of why induction is more popular in Europe, where ranges are less common.

The induction range is coming down in price quickly now, so it may be they’ve made some progress on this issue. Just two years ago the cheapest was $4k.

(Range = cooktop and oven in one freestanding unit)
Ignoring news outright seems like a terrible idea for the stock market. Focus more on objective news, especially from areas that impact stocks. In Jan. 2020, once news came out about Chinese factories shutting down and whole cities being locked down, it was pretty easy to see the effect that would have on the market. Now, I definitely didn't foresee amazon and tech's meteoric rise, but it wasn't hard to predict what would happen in other areas.

> Also, when you trade you expect the value of a security to go up in the future.

Not necessarily. You can also trade on securities going down in value (via shorting). Or you can even just bet on eg volatility going up or down or staying the same. (Eg via some derivatives and options.)

Or you can bet on relative price movements of some security vs another.

You are right about financial prices being forward looking, and news being backwards looking. And: by the time you have heard of something in the news, the professionals and their computers will have already traded on it a million times over.

This mostly applies to deeply liquid markets. If you are trading rare Lego sets or Magic the Gathering cards, you might still benefit from news.

100%, showing up and making yourself go is the hardest part when you're starting.

I've always thought body building is one of the hardest habits to start because your body punishes you when you do it the first few times. It's hard to feel motivated after it hurts to go up or down the the stairs. If you make it over that hurdle it's easy to keep up.

Why is a real fulfilment centre better? I can see an Amazon centre with robots etc being more efficient, but other warehouses seem no more efficient than going through shelves at a walmart.

I’m glad I’m not alone doing this! I’ve gone so far as setting up a content blocker on my phone and putting Reddit on a blocklist.

I just can’t handle all the front page content that elicits outrage and/or incredulity, and the comment threads can be just as outrageous as the content itself.

Still, I dig so many of the communities on there, so I browse by setting aside time and hopping on my desktop.

I don’t use my desktop much (maybe a couple times a week), so I find it creates a nice mental partition from my day-to-day life and let’s me engage with Reddit on my own terms. Frankly, Reddit is a blast in small doses, so I’m happy with the balance I’ve struck.

People love to get their pitchforks out against eminent domain but I assert without it not a single large public works project would ever get built. No dams, no sewer treatment plants, no water lines, no power lines, no power plants, no trains, no highways, no anything. Without eminent domain, there will always be some holdout somewhere that throws a wrench in things no matter how many truckloads of money you toss at them.

To actually build massive public infrastructure, you need a way to force people to cooperate. Without, you'd never get the project off the ground.
> Universities are centers for teaching, research, and community. But that broader social mission is exactly why universities shouldn’t go off and form a patent-holding company that is designed to operate similarly to a patent troll.

The problem is that mission requires money. Lots of money. Researchers need pay (and many already earn next to nothing). Researchers need equipment. I get why this is disquieting, but it also has hints of the idea that charities should be run with the cheapest people available, even in critical executive positions.

As a society we have decided that we don't really want to fund that mission all that well, so this is what they come up with. And if they abide by the gentleman's agreement to not go after small businesses, the other harm should be minimized.

I am not sure that I agree with it but the money would at least likely go back into academia so I am not a visceral no.

Hey, I figure the downvotes were probably a consequence of tone, but your quoted post is a robust defense of your prior assertion about your position on vaccines.

Anyway, I apologize for doubting. I still don't understand your position regarding the current batch of mRNA vaccines, but I can appreciate that you're not an anti-vaccine generalist.

You joke, but there are serious economists suggesting that we _should_ in fact legalize insider trading. (Though your employment contract might still forbid you.)

In any case, your suggestion wouldn't really work: the insider who would benefit would mostly be high up managers, not anymore 'real people' than the (relative) corporate outsiders who run the hedge funds and vulture funds etc.

Second, who would the retail traders trade with on those news? Market makers would go on to quote huge spreads, or not trade at all. Those institutional investors you want to hobble ain't so stupid. (And those that are, wouldn't last long.)
