This reminds me of the price/quality matrix: * Using your own money to buy something for yourself: price and quality matter. * Using your own money to buy something for someone else. Price matters, not quality. * Using other people&#x2

Remember, this has only lasted a few months. I want us all to be prepared for it to last much longer. Even if we were to reopen fully today, things have changed in ways that they won't change back. Take care of yourself and your family

Why should we even allow our government to tell us ever again what products are “essential” and what are not? Not only was that distinction pointless, but it was actively harmful. Another example, a ban on plant nursery right at the time pe

It’s very sad to me to see us destroying ourselves over covid19 without asking ourselves critically and honestly “are these steps and precautions worth it?” I can see shelter-at-home related suicide, which disproportionately affects the yo

I think you’re right here though. For example, the staggering amount of Japanese-centric pages on enwiki shows how the interest of a monoculture can have an outsized impact on the community. But at the same time, why not the free content?

Closing access to beaches and wrapping up park benches did not have any material impact on the virus spread. Would happy to be proved wrong if you have other info, though the Japan situation makes me think that’s not likely. If anything, be

I’m looking forward to learning so much more around the circumstances of General Flynn, in particular what the IC community (foreign and domestic) has been up to when they thought nobody was watching. Hopefully transparency doesn’t end, eve
