@robertwrighter @NonzeroNews Nice article! One additional point is technological/AI warfare but maybe that falls under an arms race. What if bank credit-debit ATM records are erased or highjacked or the power grids or weapon systems? This as you have pointed out in the past is a tremendous problem.

2/ What's funny is that in the episode itself they make the 10000% valid point that this isn't really about any one incident or horses or whips, but an entirely broken (largely by GOP intransigence) policy. But still: How is it justifiable to echo this claim?
@jessesingal -- Tue Sep 28 16:56:07 +0000 2021
@adamgurri None of this shows whipping though. There is a brief span where one of the agents seems to twirl his reins in a way that could be construed as threatening, but there's nothing here.

@NateSilver538 -- Tue Sep 28 13:51:18 +0000 2021
In the Northeast, the numbers are relatively flat, but that's partly because of a (probably school-related) increase in testing. In New Jersey, for instance, cases are down 8% over the past two weeks, but tests are up 38%. Meanwhile, NYC's positive test rate continues to decline. https://t.co/ml3LbWP1uG

@SeanTrende I'd also note that what we're observing isn't really kids in school vs kids sheltering in place and remote learning. It's kids in school relative to their schedule of summer activities and however much transmission that had been causing before.
@NateSilver538 -- Tue Sep 28 14:46:29 +0000 2021
@SeanTrende Yeah. Or at the very least it puts some bounds on things. You can't look at data like this and conclude schools have no role in transmission. But with each week that goes by you can start to rule out some worst-case scenarios.
@NateSilver538 -- Tue Sep 28 14:06:26 +0000 2021
I don't think it was a crazy concern either, BTW. Kids are the largest group of unvaccinated people and the evidence on how well kids transmit under Delta is sort of all over the place. But should we be updating our priors? Yes, I think, at least a bit.
@NateSilver538 -- Tue Sep 28 14:04:00 +0000 2021
Sure you're saying something. You might not be saying as much as if we had a time machine and could actually run counterfactual experiments. But people were worried about a surge caused by school reopenings, large enough to drown out other trends, and that hasn't happened. https://t.co/NBuBuFxBLH
@LiberalChick -- Tue Sep 28 22:43:17 +0000 2021
@NateSilver538 @berkey11 I think as much as rec players want to see more hands/hour live they also prefer easy stress free experiences. A lot of them would interpret time limits as added pressure that would lessen enjoyability of the exp which results in less freq visits &more bad interactions w/ staff

The bipartisan infrastructure bill would be a huge win for progressivism. It would get rid of lead water pipes in America. It would pour $105 billion into trains and transit. It would prove that big government is good for the economy. TAKE THE W. https://t.co/elVn2haNL8

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:02:51 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey Yes, because I don't actually know how to threaten them. I assume there are threats. I just know this isn't one. This isn't a threat. So let's not tell ourselves it is.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:01:59 +0000 2021
@Theophite Manchin and Sinema will take no heat if progressives vote down a bill that Manchin and Sinema voted for. So blowing up that bill is simply not a credible threat.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:00:14 +0000 2021

@stan_keshi So if your parents die and you're still here, you didn't replace them because you're genetically related to them??
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:58:24 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey The answer is no, of course. So the question becomes how to credibly threaten them. And blowing up infra just isn't any kind of a threat to them. So use the threats we do have.

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:31:44 +0000 2021
Anyway, killing infrastructure will not hurt Manchin; he voted FOR the bill. Threatening to kill the bill will not compel Manchin to support reconciliation; other means of compulsion must be found. Vote for the infra bill because it's good, and because it's progressive. (end)
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:28:44 +0000 2021

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:28:29 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey They voted for the infra bill. If it dies they won't take the heat; they voted for it. The complex idea that its survival hinged on a deal about the reconciliation bill will not make it into the heads of American voters; it's far too complex.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:27:30 +0000 2021

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:25:37 +0000 2021
@ImNotOwned @Taara535 Why are people acting like this is an alternative to the reconciliation bill? The idea that killing this bill will hurt Manchin in any way is fantasy.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:18:20 +0000 2021
@JimJamison84 Days or weeks are fine. But if that turns into months, it saps Biden's momentum, and that will be bad. Most worryingly, if Manchin calls progressives' bluff, and they actually vote DOWN the bill, that's a disaster.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:16:47 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey It's not fine; Manchin and Sinema are horrible. But can they be compelled by threatening the infra bill? If it goes down, they don't take any heat. They were fine not passing infra in 2019, and 2018, and 2017, etc. They'll be fine. This is not leverage.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:03:39 +0000 2021
@TheOmniZaddy I mean of course they need to do this, but threatening the infra bill is pointless; if it fails, Manchin and Sinema won't take the blame for its failure. So there's no leverage there. Instead, simply put them in the spotlight as the obstructionists they are.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:02:36 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey There's no goddamn leverage there. If the infrastructure bill fails, Manchin and Sinema won't be blamed; they voted for it.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:02:09 +0000 2021
@TWOMARD @BrandyFromTX Whether the infra bill passes will have no effect on their votes, unfortunately. If it fails to pass they won't take the blame.

@AgnesCallard The way that most areas of life hold themselves to any standards at all is via enforcing social norms (often also adding laws). If not via norms, how are we intellectuals supposed to push each other to be oriented toward truth? The universe doesn't naturally ensure this.
@robinhanson -- Tue Sep 28 14:19:02 +0000 2021
@AgnesCallard Surely shaming and praising exist in humans because our ancestors found them useful at times. Why shouldn't such things also find uses in intellectual worlds?
