Veteran music producer Rick Beato put out an insightful video on this subject here:

It has mostly to do with the music companies and cultivation of new artists.
It's not a lack of good new music.
Every email system I ever used has done what you're asking for. So if you deleted all your social media accounts and simply communicated through email, you'd have all that uninterrupted time, plus you'd probably not miss any significant news or friends' activities.
I could sort of understand writing a news story about non-peer reviewed work if urgency is needed to get evidence, any evidence out there. But this? What's the urgency? Why can't we wait for "peer review?" Rutger Bregman is right. Our news system has to stop reporting stuff just because it's "edgy." Wait for the peer review! Especially when one way or the other, it's not going to affect how we'll deal with the situation.
Shouldn't the whole world be working together to research treatments and vaccines? Seems like that would be more efficient and effective than everyone going at it alone.
I also fail to see how China coming up with a vaccine prevents the US from doing so, unless they mean keeping the US from asking for a king's ransom to give a country access to the vaccine.
Dang, I was just about to write what you wrote. So I'll just second this sentiment.
I've followed this YouTuber for many years, and I believe his reporting to be in good faith. Perhaps he's wrong, but until a final determination is made, it's at least a theory worth keeping in mind.
If you want to talk about human causation, then much more likely, I suspect, is that someone was experimenting with SARS-related viruses in an attempt to see how they work and to research cures--and it got away from them before they had a cure.
In other words, Hanlon's razor: never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
One of my favorite You-tube channels claims to have proof that this was, in fact, what happened.
Here's the link:
I might be wrong, but aren't Mt. Sinai and the UC San Francisco hospitals public hospitals? I know they're both teaching hospitals.
Were the hospitals that fired those people public or private? Might that account for the difference in policies?
Thank God. I have a Prius Prime, the lowest tier model. The higher tiers had huge touchscreens with a very poor use of the real estate. The cheap version had a smaller touchscreen that is more than adequate and two knobs - one for volume on/off on the radio and the other for tuning stations. Every time I need to turn off the radio quickly I say a little thanks as I simply push the button with half a glance.
There doesn't have to be a button for everything, but some buttons are sorely appreciated.
Not all people can code well nor have the time to develop their skills. By the same token, not all coal miners can code well nor have the time to develop their skills. Should all coal miners be encouraged to consider coding as a career? Absolutely. Should they be helped in doing so? Absolutely. Is it a solution for every single one of them? Probably not.
This question is kind of like asking, "Do you like to read pop-up books?"
I see banks, energy companies and other industries" but no mention of voting infrastructure, the only one that has actually been attacked already.
no, he was designing daisy-wheel printers
It seems strange to call this "new" since a few decades ago, it seems like there were lots of people like this in tech, including my high school buddy who never went to college yet did quite well designing computer printers.
" A label which captures this concept is 'Goodhart's Law' -- after economist Charles Goodhart, who posited in essence that 'when a measure becomes a target, it becomes useless.'"
I've seen a similar effect in places where I've worked. A poorly defined metric that is used to rate employee performance will suddenly become the primary focus of the job, instead of actually doing the job.
I've seen a similar effect in places where I've worked as well, that is, public schools. Since the nineties, both school and pupil evaluations have been based on achieving questionable targets using questionable metrics. It's nice to know that even if the metrics weren't questionable, using a target like that would make them so. And not only that, a term, Goodhart's Law, exists to describe the phenomenon. I'll place it up there on the shelf right next to Godwin. Thanks!
"They're always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there's never a slip-and-fall, or an age, sex, or race discrimination case"
He complains about wages, and then lists the reasons he'll automate no matter what the minimum wage is, no matter what the regulations are. Sounds about right.
