New weekly Covid post is out: thezvi.wordpress.com/2021/10/28/cov But real story this week was the port of LA, which gets its own spinoff post: thezvi.wordpress.com/2021/10/28/an-. We need to remember what happened, and work to make it happen again!

And as always when I have major updates, causes me to wonder “What is your best estimate of how many fields of human endeavor are three orders of magnitude less efficient than possible with current technology contingent on basically one executive caring about that improvement.”

i think there are some interesting parallels between an incompetent and sclerotic bureaucracy and a depressed person. including the part that is like "obviously we can't just easily solve our problems because that would look deeply embarrassing"

also the part that is like "obviously we can't just easily solve our problems because we instituted rules preventing ourselves from taking the relevant actions and what if we get in trouble with ourselves for breaking those rules"

How about room ventilation and cost effective air conditioning/heating? Persian room cooling could see a renaissance. After all, a stable ideal temperature for living spaces is literally beneath our feet with only minimal ongoing energy costs.

This seems like such a distraction though. OK so now we have more shit being stored in the yards. How does that change anything other than less boats floating? No rail car being sent from east to pick up still. Big companies would still rather pay the port to store than pick up
