It is probably because travel will take a lot longer to come back than most of us expect. This is because travel is probably one of the prime ways covid-19 can start spreading again and governments will be very leery of any activity that wi

Long feedback chains take longer to optimize so this is possible. Also one feedback would be to have the company fail. Another possibility is that it really is a tradeoff of where to focus. For example, we are now paying for our lack of pre

Currently there is more than enough. The problem is lack of information and lack of distribution. Making more without solving those problems is ineffectual.

The first problem to solve is information and distribution. Get organized quickly first so that hospitals know that they can request them and that their requests are quickly met. This double request structure is stupid.

Did no one bother to actually read the article? It says that there can potentially be a shortage but that there isn't currently. The fed has 13000 and the military an extra 2000. It currently seems more hamstrung by bureaucracy or lack

Lots like Ireland was hit hardest but that resulted in a lot of emigration. Looks like the Dutch were hit pretty hard at least in yield percentage drop.

Interpreting sexual selection in this scenario: Dutch were really short because of malnutrition. Perhaps people were trying to make sure their children become taller despite being so short. So they tend to marry the tallest people. This wor

One specific example of antitrust that wasn't handled properly was the Bombardier C Series and Boeing petitioning it for dumping. It resulted in one fewer competitor in the market because it forced Bombardier to sell the plane to Airbu

And from the article, over 60% is of Mexican ancestry. So over 30 million versus the population of Mexico at a little over 120 million. Roughly 20% of Mexicans moved to the US.

Actually a significant percentage have. The US is 16.7% Hispanic. That is over 50 million people. The population of Mexico is a little over 120 million. I would bet that if there were no barriers to immigration then you would see a signific

How about the current environmental l collapse or count the number of animals killed each year for food? The utilitarianism approach still depends on how you define utility and who you define it for. People, animals, the planet, consciousne

It isn't a max of 2 stops. It's a max of 2 pickups and 2 stops. Also sometimes you end up taking detours for the pickups and stops, not to mention waiting for the people to show up. Happened to me. I think the bus got to my destin

Capitalism is very good at incentivizing externalizing costs: the environment, healthcare of its workers, etc... You need government to fix that because the market by itself sure isn't. Of course capitalism isn't all bad. There is

I think it would be an interesting experiment to have people with more expertise in each platform/tech write the code and then measure the developer time and performance. This is because, based on what the author mentioned about cell r

I think it was a systems issue with the software a part of it. From what I read, the software system is archaic in a bad way since you have duplicate systems but not used for redundancy. Only one set is used at a time and which one is switc
