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"

I think that doesn't pay enough service to the fact that many rules are rules because not having rules came with a body count. I'd bet a dollar that some research will turn up a collapsing stack of containers killing someone at Long Beach port some time after their introduction.
