Which sounds perfect.

But then you have pharma companies paying for research and these studies - but only if they yield favorable results. At least in Europe it is close to impossible doing a study or any other research without having a "sponsor", i.e. a big pharma company who pays for it. And why would they? Because good results are good for business. Everything else? Pay it yourselves. Oh, you had two PhD students working on it for 3 years? Not my problem.

Better than nothing, but a lot of people are screaming for all those unfavorable results, as the available publications obviously only paint a partial picture, one in favor of the sponsors.

"An all-in-one platform to host and launch your website without the hassle of building one."
He wrote a book in the 90's that defined crypto for a lot of people. It was the first time that I know of that this info was all collected, curated and available to the "average reasonably technical developer", without reading a ton of academic papers.

In retrospect we've learned a lot since them and no one (including the author) would recommend developers read that book first or even at all. Now we've come to the understanding that folks are much better served by opinionated cryptosystem design ("no sharp edges") and texts like "cryptography engineering" that have a better focus on failure modes.

Anyway, he's not the be all, end all expert but he has been thinking about this stuff for a long time and often has perspectives that are worth thinking about. Some of them, like his views on airline security etc are now so mainstream that you wouldn't realise he was a big part of why they are now widely held.

But mainly it's that he has a lot of pretty high level gov and industry connections that I would at least entertain his conjecture here.

Using Predictive Analytics to Better Manage Capacity in Healthcare
Hi, I'm the original author. I think that GCE instance has 2Gb per core but I'd need to check. It wasn't bottlenecked on network bandwidth though.

The other benchmarks are linked in the spreadsheet to their respective details. It's not an absolute, direct, fair comparison. However, we wanted to start somewhere with information available right now and try to collect better results over time as the respective interested parties benchmarked and blogged about their databases.

I'd like to spend more time benchmarking every database in the spreadsheet but it feels like something the project owners should do themselves. I'd probably only get the setup wrong.

How much time do you spend taking care of kids? That's the real time sink of adulthood (not just childcare itself, but also all the extra strain it generates in terms of household work, cleaning, etc).

10 years ago I had all the time in the world, even though I was an adult - a single, childless adult.
I'd love that life style but I have to work.
It's tricky.

Even if you write for Windows, you'll be using APIs that only work on there (eg if you write in C++ using MFC or COM, or write using .NET and eg. find that you can only do certain things with Invoke by calling into system DLLs, which you won't be able to do on other platforms, despite the open source nature of .NET these days).

If you write for iPad, you are restricted to their iOS APIs.

If you write for Mac OS, you'll be restricted to there, as you use Cocoa.

If you write for Android, you'll be restricted to there, as you write using Android's APIs despite the existence of Java and some of its runtime. You could attempt C++ on here but the NDK is a bolt-on.

The only true solution seems to be to write in a language that is available across all platforms (C++?) using a library that works across all of them (doesn't exist), but this is non-existent as the ways the systems behave (windowing, application process cycle) is different on each platform and it would be foolish to believe that they should be the same, or that they behave in the same way.

I think we should just accept that each platform has its merits and disadvantages and stop aiming for this dream of easy cross-compatibility with little developer effort. On all platforms we have to buy the hardware, sometimes have to buy the tooling, and then have to submit our applications to the respective markets or distribution channels (even on Linux, we can't just chuck our stuff at repos, particularly if we want to sell it). Ultimately if we write for a platform, there will always be lock-in of some sort (eg why can't I run my EXE on Mac?).
Btw, this is certainly not magic. Would love to hear about your dev / product design tips to make something having so many features not being a bloated software.
American Athletes Caught Doping – WADA Hacked
Harvard's virgins with iPhones
It's not just America, there's a case in the EU right now where a company for some reason as gotten a 10 year exclusive on a drug that cost basically nothing. It has now gone up 4000% in price. This is for an out of patent drug.

That company for some reason got an exclusive, by using a law that was suppose to ensure that companies could recoup development cost. In this case it's a drug that pharmacies used to make, there's absolutely NO COST to recoup.
Doesn't matter. Bernie will take care.
No no it is easy to create stuff. Less easy to actually run it on your hardware though :-)

The article says that adults work, commute, clean, cook, take care of their dependent and so on... they don't do that to justify their existence but because it has to be done, unless you're rich enough to find other people doing these things for you...
My favorite part of README.md:

Can I run a QuineDB cluster?

Well I mean, um.
There are many many reasons. IMHO medicare not being able to negotiate prices is silly and expensive but not the whole story.

If i could wave a magic wand and change any one thing, I'd require drugs and perhaps devices for clinical trials to be produced by the patent office, from the text of the patent. I think this would reduce the FDA approval for generics down to, Can the manufacturer make the drug correctly and consistently?

I don't have a problem with companies charging whatever they wish for the shiny new drug. But the transition to generic needs to be as simple, cheap and smooth as possible.

> we start to believe that we are not by default worthy of living a good, joyful, care-free, abundant life.. unless it is "deserved".

That may be your own personal motivation, but it is far from a generalization or even shared by many people.

For instance, people do work to make a living. For some people, making a living means paying the rent and put food on the table. For others, it means affording luxuries and materialist goals. Most people do need to work to cover these expenses, and the higher they cost the harder they need to work for them. This is the norm.

Then there are also other motivations. Some people decide to become entrepreneurs not because they seek riches, but because they believe they are able to create something new, something that no one else can provide, and believe that they have an obligation to be a source of progress and push the world forward in their own personal way.

That is only true if you are operating under the assumption that liberty, human welfare, and strength of America as a nation is a good thing for the future.

Thanks for these videos, they're real gems. I've wanted to see the foxes at the Institute for Cytology+Genetics for a very long time, and this raw footage almost puts me there. I finally see the difference between the tamed and not-so-tamed foxes - real eye-opener.

I must ask... do you happen to have any more footage hiding away? :) (The camera is in perfect focus, making this footage a rare treat for this type of thing)

Seeing the difference between the {non-,}tame mink was very interesting too, TIL.

You say free time is your priority, but even with this ideal list (it makes some very unrealistic assumptions) your free time is only 50% of your responsibilities time.
But if you can manage to not think about it until say 19:50, you will feel less busy. Working on your current task with 100% dedication, spending your breaks looking out the window just watching the birds land on the branches of the cherry tree will make you feel less busy, I guarantee it.

Edit: Not that I ever manage that myself of course but the theory is sound.

>There were fundamental problems with the tooling for a long long time after the first release

I was speaking of the language syntax and specification separately from the "tooling." Virtually every language has terrible tooling when it's first released. (e.g. Golang doesn't have a real debugger, Rust build chain on Windows is suboptimal, etc). Yes, Apple's Xcode and Playgrounds were extremely buggy with Swift. Given decades of computing history, it's unfortunate that bugs are to be expected of new programming languages.

There are very few languages that emphasize tooling from the very start. Examples that come to mind would be 4GL type languages (SAP ABAP, Powerbuilder) because those proprietary languages often force you to work inside of their GUI editors. Smalltalk might be another example.

I can't say that I'm perfect at this, but I've found that to-do lists are a great way tool for helping me not think about things: Knowing that something is on my list and so I won't forget about it allows me to push it out of my head far more effectively.

Snowden should be put on trial for committing treason. No matter how bad it is what he exposed. He broke the law[0]. What he exposed are policies of the United States by people put in power in a democracy and free country.

If you don't want that shit happening in your country, let the people in power know. Go on the streets. Millions of poeple are not happy with what is going on, but literally nothing changed. Sadly, American citizens and the West in general have been trained from a young age to be apathetic and those that have the audacity to fight back have been systematically beaten down. They rather create parallax websites with fancy countdowns than actually trying to change something.

When's the last time they've had to mobilize the National Guard because there was a protest? The entire American economy could collapse because of a giant banking scandal and people wouldn't even raise a fist in anger.

Yes, as you say, the possible motivation is very different.

In a cyberconflict escalation if it would come up to a possibility of disrupting core Internet infrastructure to (temporarily) disable most of Internet, it would be most likely for China or Russia to want this result and for USA/NATO to actually want the opposite.
> 2. Cooking: 3 h (who the hell cooks three times a day?)

People who enjoy cooking, and people who actually care for their health.
What they need is government enforced FRAND style patent licensing for prescribed medications and drugs that are to be covered by government programs, and all medications prescribed must have at least two sources... that would increase competition.
Unregulated medicine is literally where the phrase "snake oil" comes from, meaning an oversold but ineffective solution.
> Because not caring for the issue has adverse effects in society.

Ok, but people obviously don't think the issue is that big since the majority doesn't care.
Yes, it could be more. I'm actually thinking about reducing my working hours. Could you elaborate on which assumptions seem unrealistic to you? I tried to list them as honest as possible, but for sure I might have overlooked something. The estimated free time aligns quite well with my daily perception (also, I could see 'staying healthy' as free time, because I go rock climbing and thats just something I love to do as a hobby).
I've not upgraded by workstation PC hardware (running Linux) in that time either. And while it would be possible to find an expensive slightly faster configuration nowadays on the market, it is still top notch and more than enough for all the loads I throw at it.

Asking for a new Mac Pro is pure consumerism!

What you could ask is for a DIFFERENT Mac Pro, eg. one with a Tesla Pascal 40 with neural-network-based AI and a totally different operating system (say, Siri based).
Peano arithmetic, as in classical first-order logic with the peano axioms is a small subsystem of MLTT with natural numbers and no universes.
If you come from a set theory background, then universes are really akin to Grothendieck universes, or large cardinal axioms.
You start out with a powerful theory and then improve it by repeatedly adding statements of the form "and the theory so far is consistent", by giving an internal model of "the theory so far".

There are type theories with universe variables, which essentially allow you to add an arbitrary (but finite) number of additional universes.
The rules for this are straightforward, even though a consistency proof is of course only possible relative to type theory or set theory with more universes...

In set theory, one typically adds an axiom scheme that states something like "There is a Grothendieck universe containing this set".
Iterating this gives you a similar tower of universes.

There are a lot more constructions that go beyond this and the funny thing is that as far as anyone knows they are all consistent.
For instance, type theories with induction-recursion allow you to generate internal universes closed under certain operations while staying in the same universe.
So one universe with induction-recursion allows you to show MLTT with an arbitrary finite number of universes consistent.
Maybe you need to refactor your application instead, to make it more like how xcode expects applications to be structured?
If I remember right pardon day is right before the transition.
It's alive and well. The TIOBE index still lists it ahead of Ruby, Swift, Objective-C, GoLang...

And I started this software 20 years ago. Granted, a LOT of the software has changed since then. But I don't see a reason to throw away existing code unless it is in need of so much change that rewriting from scratch would be easier. And even then I might stick to what I know best, and what fits best with other parts of the software.
https://www.maxlaumeister.com/blog/google-is-deleting-your-f... has some, but anyone who's been following it knows it's happening beyond that. I am surprised that infinitesoup is apparently unaware of these issues given his account on HN is 591 days old and over it's history has posted about absolutely nothing but YouTube. Indeed an account on Reddit called infinitesoup, possibly unrelated I concede, has wall-to-wall comments on YouTube too. They all read like a superfan or possibly an employee of Google providing support. The usual etiquette on HN is to simply disclose an interest and then argue a point. While it's not against the rules I don't like having to do my own research and finding out the person posting links from Google support is likely a Google employee (the person connected with the Reddit account seems to be a Google employee, maybe this guy isn't).

Even if they are different accounts and this guy isn't a Google employee they haven't presented any other credible evidence for this wonderful support anyway. They have only presented a policy aspiration. Google is not Amazon; Google is notorious for bad customer support. Our prior belief for "will YouTube provide good support" shouldn't be very high given they are part of Google. Therefore it doesn't take many data points in the direction of poor support to confirm that.

There are clear and sometimes good reasons for what Google does, it's a great company with competent employees but let's not drink the Kool-Aid and pretend they have great customer support just because there is a policy document aspiring to have good response times.
The epipen is a glib response. Biologics are pretty notorious for not being reproducible. Etanercept (Enbril) is the last one i looked at deeply. There winds up being some 'secret sauce' that doesn't quite make it into the patent.

Enbril is around $2000/month, for what it's worth.
Even if he gets pardoned, I think he will just disappear.

I can't find the highly graphic one about the one who got shot, like, 18 times, while was unarmed in front of a shop. Anyway poker shooting is a reality: It's illegal gambling, therefore it's considered high-level criminality.

Not to judge who's right or wrong, who's "supposed to know" and who's at risk - I'm only saying the risk of being shot dead by the USA police is immensely higher than in any other country in the world, including Russia and China.

Well, I've heard that the Mongo investors in investing in some really revolutionary database technology next. Instead of having a document store, you have many "tables" each containing "rows" of objects of the same type. And the best part is that these objects can have relationships to other objects, allowing you to separate complex data into its components, and describe all kinds of systems. It has a strong mathematical background, and the creators have even developed an english like structured language for queries. It's already in use at Google and Facebook, so it's totally web scale.

Crazy, right?
