Well, if you are low enough in the income brackets, you get medicaid to pay for it all.

On the one hand, medical expenses are the number one cause of bankruptcy, we've all heard that. But on the other hand, if it were really as bad as it seems, why don't we do something about it?

I guess the answer is tribal politics. Amazing how we can all be turned against each other so effectively, while a small portion of the population, who needs help the least, has no problem whatsoever advocating vigorously for their own benefit.
Great movie .. More and more I see it referenced
Maybe if your business is simple and purchase cycle fast.

For the majority of companies that’s not the case.

There are other confounding factors, like the margin attached to that revenue.

Sometimes understanding the actual profitability of a sale can take years.

As others have said for big brands it can be incredibly hard to do real attribution.
Housing is the big factor. When it went insane, people who were on the edge of being able to afford housing got forced out. That was a whole lot of people. And when you lose your dream, what's the point of trying anymore?
Didn't I make it clear it's not my line? Historical precedent. There's also plenty of precedent for restricting commercial speech and activity: zoning laws.

Incorrect statements about the world (unless they're directed at people and companies, then there's slander and libel law), have never been the subject of legal restrictions that I'm aware of. Social, yes, legal, no.

You can stand on a street corner with a sign protesting science and demanding recognition of flat earth theory. However, try that with a sign depicting gore or porn. Depending on your location, authorities would probably use some generic statute like disturbing the peace or some "harmful to minors" statute. I'd be shocked if any action were taken against anyone advocating Flat Earth Theory. Religious fanatics regularly do much worse protesting abortion clinics.

The issue shows up when certain content is being broadcast in the public square. I think all of these things, from covid misinformation to sex and violence, are so prevalent on the internet that blocking it on the major social media sites is futile. I think it should be handled with a tag system, without blocking or deranking anything other than allowing people to choose which specially tagged content shows up in their feeds.

But as long as they don't have those kinds of tagging systems (twitter allows users to flag their own accounts as 18+, but nothing else and nothing more granular except on their administrative backend), they can hide behind the excuse that their algorithms put arbitrary content into other people's feeds, and therefore the content that has historical precedent for community restrictions (obscene, disruptive, or harmful to minors) can plausibly be restricted on their platforms too.
The state building affordable and midrange housing does have precedent in Finland, where municipal employees build the majority of homes, leaving the upper mid-range and high end homes to be built by private developers.

They do tightly manage where each type of residence is built, from what I hear the goal is to avoid the creation of exclusively wealthy or poor neighborhoods as their existence damages society.
The linked article focuses on New Zealand because it's from a New Zealand publication, but service is actually being suspended to 22 countries.

It would probably be better to link to the USPS notice directly, which is mentioned but unfortunately not linked to in the RNZ article: https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international...
> and ask for power from above.

Perhaps not a great plan...
So, something I’ve been wondering here. USPS cites an unavailability of transportation as the reason, and apparently rental car companies are having a rough time of it as well.

Is there a lot of deferred maintenance on vehicle fleets that’s catching up to us now? Lack of parts? Maybe some tie to the chip shortage of all things seeing as how automobile manufacturers are also having to shut down plants due to a lack of chips?

Seth's invocation of entropy is nowhere near as egregious as it is in the case of those creationists who claim that evolution would be a violation of the 2nd. law of thermodynamics, but I feel it is, ultimately, an argument that goes nowhere.

His point is that living organisms are, temporarily, islands of relative order in a universe that is generally less so, which is both a fact and consonant with the 2nd. law. As all living organisms, not just conscious ones, share this feature, it is hardly a distinguishing feature, let alone an explanation, of consciousness.

This has led some people to redefine consciousness to encompass all such systems, whether living or not - they all, supposedly, have a certain amount of of it, according to the proponents of panpsychism and its more quantitative offspring such as Integrated Information Theory (IIT).

To me (and I am a materialist in matters of the mind), this seems to be an attempt to force consciousness into the woefully inadequate explanations we currently have on hand. The sort of consciousness we are most interested in, and are most challenged by, is the sort of self-aware, language-creating, theory-of-mind holding consciousness that is most fully developed in our own species (and probably in some of our extinct predecessors), not the sort of consciousness that might be attributed to a paramecium or a thermostatically controlled building. It is not useful to lump together such a diverse range of phenomena, and we are only fooling ourselves if we claim that anodyne statements about preserving order against a chaotic universe are, in any useful sense, an explanation of consciousness.

For a much more thorough critique of IIT specifically, see Scott Aaronson:

> The state needs to build a slew of affordable housing.

These have never worked and are full of pervert effects. It's at best a band aid.

> I think the market has shown quite clearly it's ill-equipped to deal with the problem.

> I think the market has shown quite clearly it's ill-equipped to deal with the problem. Housing needs to be built for the purpose of housing people rather than the purpose of making profit.

That's a cool political slogan, however nobody will build a housing without a profit and nobody is entitled to other people's labor.

Making sure that houses are not left empty and sane zoning rules are more likely to result in viable changes. Absurdly low interest rates are also to blame.

If a company wanted to, they could certainly use the online social media polarisation to poison any discussion.

Any discussion of the validity of Ivermectin as a COVID treatment is now "political", in the sense that Team Red thinks that its a gift from god, and Team Blue thinks any consideration of it is anti-science stupidity.

And since there is a strong correlation between Team Blue and the vocal science community, in a sense someone could drive consensus about a drug to make and studies into Ivermectin political instead of evidence-based - because who wants their university peers to think they are Team Red instead of Team Blue.

Even though there are peer reviewed studies that show some correlation between Ivermectin and COVID viral loads - https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5...

I'm not saying they did, but its not unimaginable to do.

Excellent information here! For something a little more unusual, you can see guitar players in the experimental realm (think John Coltrane, not Thurston Moore) use four finger per string technique in standard/fourths tuning via the work of Ollie Halsall and Allan Holdsworth. Highly nimble and skilled, these guys were the 60s/70s inspiration for later shred-monsters like Eddie Van Halen (who worked to get Holdsworth a record deal). Something must have been in the water around Cambridge during the late 60's for two completely different oddballs to emerge with nearly identical techniques, especially considering that they both played in the same band for a brief moment. (Allan Holdsworth played with Tony Williams, Jean Luc Ponty, and Soft Machine. Ollie Halsall played in Patto, a band that Queen opened for and Led Zeppelin could barely keep up with, along with gigs with Brian Eno and Kevin Ayers. Rumor has it Ron Wood was the next choice after Ollie during the Rolling Stones' mid 70s lineup change).

Your comment seems to have been slapped, perhaps on the interpretation that you are justifying colonialism, or perhaps on the interpretation that you are engaging in space billionaire boosterism, but I read you comment very differently. That our islands of enlightenment rest on pillars of violence, and restumping our civilisation on a foundation of justice and sustainability isn't anti-enlightenment, it is the enlightenment project, and it's taking us hundreds of years not always moving forwards.
If you keep going down the page, you get actual narratives about the problems. For Australia, for instance, Australia Post has closed the office that handles incoming mail. New Zealand is more vague, but is basically turning down mail processing due to COVID restrictions.
Given the disastrous way the US withdrew from Afghanistan if a now emboldened China decided to invade Taiwan I feel like the US would just stand by and watch. Unfortunate to see the resolve of the US falter to uphold.
Your point about resonances isn't really true. The other strings can resonate "sympathetically" even when you play a fingered note. For example, vibrato can be achieved on open strings by vibrating on the finger position that corresponds to the note an octave higher than the open string. This is mostly used for the open G string, since as the lowest note, it can't be played anywhere else on the instrument. But its also used on other strings for different colors.

Sympathetic resonance is also why some keys sound better on a violin than others. Violinists tend to like the keys with sharps: G D A E
I've always wanted to inquire the significance of advertising from the standpoint of the business, and yet its failure to please users. Advertising sucks from the standpoint of the user, and some say that if you want to scale any online business from 0 customers to N, advertising is pivotal and word of mouth won't do. Whether it comes in the flavor of give $10 to sign up a Paypal account, banner ads, search engine ads and these days also social ads (YT promotion, sleezy product reviews, IG celebrities) - it's important. So how come we have not solved the problem of user hostility in advertisement? Blendtec's "Will it blend?" series blends entertainment and advertisement. Engineers go to trade fairs and conferences voluntarily to seek out new suppliers/companies. People pay to go to Disneyland. Another genius in advertising is products/services that self advertise (Louis Vuitton). My gut feeling is that there is a deeper, more fundamental trade-off between advertisement effectiveness, and user hostility that always persists. Most of the time, we just adandon further inquiry and call it off as "It is the way it is because it damn well works".

The literature doesn't just say it has antiviral properties, The Lancet itself has published papers that show that "A concentration dependent antiviral effect of ivermectin in COVID-19 was identified, with significant reductions in SARS-CoV-2 viral load in respiratory secretions among patients"[^1].

The fact that you are being downvoted, even though the science is relatively sound shows how polarised this topic has become.

The market has shown it's ill-equiped? I don't know how you came to that conclusion.

There are zoning codes everywhere, environmental review, city permits, etc, that the small amount of successful projects will of course be the minimal low hanging fruit. Literally all of this problem is "the state."

Let people build buildings on their own land. It will supply far more housing than any state backed affordable housing and will break the housing-as-investment pitfall by breaking the supply-constraint that causes people to treat it that way.
So glad that you noticed the pun :)

There were plenty more during the years to come e.g. being grounded, learning to conduct myself properly, I put the "cute" in electrocute.
The same can be said of modern playgrounds. They are so "safe" that kids have to use them in ways that they were never intended to get any thrill at all. Modern playgrounds require adult supervision to prevent the kids from doing stupidly dangerous things.
You can’t quite run it on different hardware: unlike on a piano, the note does not uniquely determine how something is played on, say, a guitar.

USPS implies it is because of COVID restrictions. NZ Post is accepting mail, but there is a shipping capacity crunch and very little air cargo capacity.

Another way to look at it is USPS did not anticipate a crunch by buying capacity in advance.

NZ Post allows us to ship packages from the US to a US warehouse which then ship to NZ. This is still operating with delays. Amazon seems fine with deliveries not being delayed at this point.
there was an announcement earlier this week saying domestic delivery will be delayed in some areas as well. if i recall correctly, this is due to some internal changes and not entirely due to the pandemic.
Also anecdotal, I’ve worked with about a half dozen people when they tried meat for the first time and remained unimpressed and never ate it again.
wouldn't be the first time there's been chatter online about a general strike. it won't happen because we aren't there, not even remotely. there is no class consciousness.
Do you really not see that either extreme is more exploitable and less resilient than a more pragmatic middle ground? Personally, my guess is that the optimum is usually towards assuming the best, but that it shifts depending on the level of antagonism present.

An arrest is not the same as a physical struggle... Anyway, given there are ~10 million arrests a year + 50 million more interactions, and 100s of millions of guns in the US, there's going to be a lot of people that decide to fight back. The fact that people like you are creating a culture were illegally resisting arrest is actually an ethical/political statement contributes to this.

As someone who is usually receptive to UI changes, the Safari 15 interface really honestly terrible. I have been beta testing the Orion browser for a while, but after Safari 15 I’m serious considering making it my daily driver. It looks virtually identical to Safari 14 with its much more sane tab design. Apple needs to fix this; you can’t have the single most important app on the system having such a flawed UX.

I think it would have been better to label everything that DHCPv6 covers with an entirely new name. Its functionality is fine for what it’s tasked to do, and much of the confusion I’d argue stems from those who (think they) know IPv4 trying to map their understanding to IPv6 unmodified.
It's still more useful to identify specific errors, and point to a better source. Wikipedia isn't perfect, yes, but it's been repeatedly show to be quite good. In particular, it synpsizes longer-term stories well, in ways that the news media often fail to (e.g., neither the linked NYT article nor its earlier expose, despite their length, both of which I'd read before linking Wikipedia).

For the purposes of identifying the basic outlines of the ex-parrot^Wcompany, the passage I've quoted is helpful in esablishing when the firm began operations, etc. Again, I had no information going in.

The meta-discussion of Wikipedia's accurac without identifying specific issues does little for any readers of this thread. It didn't with the first comment on that topic, and it continues to be the case. I'm done.

I think with a company like Coca-cola, it is a little bit of a different approach. Taking Coca-cola as the example. My money is their ads are not placed there to get you to buy a 6-pack online. It is so when you see it, you go, 'damn a coke actually sounds really good right now.' And then you proceed to walk tot he fridge for one or next time your out and about buy one. However I would say that a product such as coke is a specific case. Some ads are for targeting people to go to their online store, then I am sure ones like coke exist to put the idea in your mind next time you stop for gas.
I have had native IPv6 from my ISP for 11 years now.
That’s why these companies invest so much in advertising. Market share is gained or lost in an instant.

If Coke switched off their advertising they would have gained this market share in recent years?
