> you are against taxes.

I said no such thing.
Only if you ignore migration costs and assume that alternatives exist in the first place.

With the model where you can just keep using the old version without any further payments, you as the customer have at least two options two choose from: keep using the old version (doesn't cost anything), or buy the new version (you have to pay). Those two options effectively compete for marketshare, and as such, the latter option has to convince you with something that you consider valuable enough for you to pay the higher price. There might be further options in the marketplace, but that's not guaranteed, and also, migrating to a different solution usually has costs associated with it (learning the new software, lower productivity in the beginning, downtime, paying for the export/conversion/import of the data, ...), while the migration costs between versions of the same software tend to minimal, in particular lower than migrating to a different product altogether.

Now, with the subcription model, the first option is removed from the market. You only can buy the new version, or pay the migration costs of switching to a new product. Which is also not lost on the company selling you the software: If their market research people are any good, they'll set prices such that it's a bit cheaper than the competition plus migration costs, effectively turning a large part of your potential migration costs into their profit.
Ultimately you aren't going to deny someone coverage based on cost

It's not about people not being able to load their data, but about accelerating the loading with serialization and about whether or not people want to focus on data cleaning, or have the cleaning done once and then available for posterity.

Quilt is, in my view, as open as git or GitHub. The de/serialization code is all open source, and uses an open format (Parquet). Parquet is accessible (and more optimal than text files) for things like Presto DB, Hive, etc.
> In other words, Americans are taking it in the chin to invest in pharmaceutical innovations, which other countries then treat as a public good.

I completely reject this line of argument. Just because the spending is here, and that a huge profit center is in Ameriica, you can't conclude anything about R&D. A large portion of the marketing spend is also in America too.

All the large drug companies are multi-national. Once the income arrives from various nations, that money is fungible within the accounting of the company. One really can't say a pound coming in from the UK isn't funding R&D in America, any more than you could say a dollar is.

I think it's a specialist question. All of this assumes you have leverage to get what you ask for.

If you are concerned about a company you work for making a lot of money after lots of VC rounds: You would probably have to get warrants, written by someone* who is really smart.

If you think the company won't need to do many rounds: just look for stock (if you're in really early, e.g. grant+zero-value-83b election still applies) or options (if you're in after the really early stages of the company).

Would love to hear details on why this is true compared to other languages.
I don't mind the summary since it, and both versions of the WP headline you mention match the pattern "X is compiling a blackist of Y accused of Z".

My concern with the headline is not about how they are written, it is about what real aspects of society they reflect. If those reflections are accurate, then the headlines are not a problem at all.

And if the headlines don't relfect realtiy, that's WP's problem, not yours.
I like how you mentioned there's no purely capitalistic healthcare system in the world, even in the U.S. there is massive government involvement in Health Care (120 millions Americans are on medicare/medicaid for instance which is twice the population of the UK if i'm not mistaken), additionally Switzerland which seems to have the best healthcare in the world also has very strict government regulation. When it comes to drug pricing there's another caveat which is a lot of the incredible R&D breakthroughs aren't even done in the states but rather they are done by British and Canadian companies that then markup the prices in the US because it's the only place they can charge people lots of $ (and even in the US they have to sell at a reduced cost to the third of the population that is on medicare/medicaid as stated earlier). So in short the U.S. healthcare system isn't entirely capitalist and the pharmaceutical companies in countries with national health insurance are very capitalist when it comes to selling their drugs in the U.S...basically nothing is what it seems.
I agree. I used 4096 in the example just in case my great grandkids find this post. They will have Quantum implants.

Any individual company is a risky asset class. The advantage of a company you work for is that you are able to influence the outcome, and for small companies, you may know insider information that allows you to decide whether to invest money or your effort in the company.

But yes, working for, or investing in, a pre IPO company is risky and if you want to avoid risk you should just make sure you're getting a bi-weekly salary you're happy with.
Yeah I noticed they changed the headline and read your comment too quickly.
You can:

* Use dirty schedulers. Those are available since 17 and in 20 are enabled by default

* Use a linked in driver and communicate via ports.

* Use a pool of spawned drivers (not linked in) and send batches of operations to them and get back results.

* Use a C-node. So basically implement part of the dist protocol and the "node" interface in C and Erlang will talk to the new "node" as if it is a regular Erlang node in a cluster.

* Use a NIF but with a queue and thread backend. So run your code in the at thread and communicate via a queue. I think Basho'd eleveldb (level db's wrapper) does this

* Use a regular NIF but make sure yield every so many milliseconds and consume reductions so to a scheduler looks like works is being done.

Java has the right idea. Namespace by [reverse] domain name. It's sadly a tad verbose though. There's high contention for short names which is at odds with uniqueuness.
Well, as somebody who tried building a bootstrapped and self funded Node.js PaaS competing against Heroku, Dotcloud, and Marak back in 2010[1][2] (the good ole'days) I am certainly sympathetic to the struggle competing against well funded companies. Ultimately though, I prefer lifestyle businesses these days. Funded companies tend to slow down, carry ridiculous baggage, politics, and usually result in less money in the founders pockets. Being self-funded and thus moving fast and agile is an advantage.

I think the problem is the realtime.

You can certainly write software that emulates a microcontroller on the Pi, but the problem is that it can't guarantee timing, since it's running on Linux fundamentally, and other processes can pre-empt it.

For certain things it doesn't matter as much, such as for a door lock or something like that. Then you gotta worry about power consumption, since running cables to your lock is problematic, and it has to run on batteries for months at a time.

That's a reason why realtime controllers can't run on Linux - if you were controlling an industrial robot that controls welding temperatures and times, even like 300 ms off can drastically affect the finished product with fit and finish and metal heat treating.

"This whole batch of parts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars went bad!"

"Well, the network is down, and the robot controller was busy trying to reconnect to the network, so that's why the welds were formed over 300 ms more than they should have been."

That can't cut it in industrial applications.

I don't disagree that people aren't getting all the steps they need, but it seems like there's a pattern where hotter areas have less 'activity' (step count).

Central America, Northern South America, Northern Africa, and the Middle East seem particularly bad.

Looking at the "walkability" graph, you see that a lot of the cities listed as the worst (Arlington, Forth Worth, San Antonio) are in Texas, where it's pretty hot.

Living in Las Vegas, I totally get this. You just don't go outside in the day time, which can put a crimp on activity.

On the flip side, in the winter it's very nice, and is the perfect time to go outside and get some exercise.

For all the cases you mention, the critical factor is the product of the average transaction size and the transaction count per second. As long as this value is smaller than the RAM bandwidth, the application will not be RAM bandwidth-bound.

Generally speaking, databases are kept in memory to minimize latency, not maximize throughput. Bandwidth is not really a problem. Having to update 10 GB/s of a database would be highly unusual. Having to get data from random positions in a disk or SSD is much more common.

As for the message broken, it's not clear to me why the bandwidth would "of course" be the limiting factor.
The original report is better. This report is really about saying "the US system could be a lot better" rather than an overall ranking of healthcare.

Walking.

Aside from the many, many other benefits you'll get from making it a regular habit, it can really help to strengthen the muscles needed to maintain good posture (just be sure to walk with your head held up).

The beauty of walking is that it is so easy to work into your daily life. In the right environment it's a very pleasant thing to do. I often find myself heading out to get lunch and instead of stopping at that place a block away, I'll go an extra couple of blocks just because I'm enjoying the walk (usually, this has something to do with the trains of thought that walking encourages). It never feels in the slightest like 'exercising'. As a programmer, I consider walking while thinking to be one of my most productive activities.

I'm not suggesting that walking is the solution for you, but I'm confident that it will help to improve your posture if you don't already do a lot of it.

> All this due diligence and much more was done.

I don't have any connection with Nest Protect and don't own one, but the fact that the Protect does not use an ionisation sensor (they suck because they suck at detecting fires early, it has nothing to do with the harmless radioactivity) and used a dual-wavelength photoelectric sensor gives them high marks in my book.

All the hardcore smoke detection equipment -- both the aspirating kinds ("VESDA") and the open-space beam/imaging kinds -- use dual-wavelength sensing. I cannot speak to all the "smart"/"connected" aspects of the device but the smoke sensor seems far better than that of every other residential smoke detector, and it would be very nice if other residential smoke detectors ditched the ionisation sensor and went to a dual-wavelength design.
I don't know anything about this, but is there a possibility of this having negative unintended side effects?
> Don't Do That.

That's exactly what dirty schedulers were made for - run longer blocking C code but without having to do the extra thread + queue bits yourself.

> is not possible to just make up for slow code by bringing in a lot of CPUs.

It entirely depends on what you are doing. So number crunching could be a small part amongst lots of protocol parsing and binary matching and sending to different backends and so on. Rarely it is just purely a simple executable that runs and multiplies a matrix and exits. In that context it could make sense to start with Erlang and then do dirty scheduler or an drivers or such for number crunching.
That's "professional associations" for you
> What else should we be thinking about?

My feeling is brokering. Consider the market for wheat where there is pricing based on supply and demand. There are futures, options, etc.

Consider a NYSE for data. Why host the data? Be a discovery service both for the price and for brokering of access.

Data should not be priced on it's size to store/transfer. That is leaving huge money on the table. It should be priced based on what people are willing to pay for it.

Why not allow someone to pay for the option for exclusive resale rights of some weather data service? Then allow someone to make a profit off their ability to re-sale that data. etc.

You may not be well placed to do that now but someone is going to. And why would I go to you hoping to find specific data when I can go to a market full of data, full of data re-sellers, etc.

Met a really nice person in a CompuServe chatroom. It was the first person I had ever spoken to on the Internet. I kept asking him if he was real. I was like 11 or 12 years old, but didn't believe that he was a real person. We talked about his job, what I was learning in school, video games, etc. Nothing crazy. Nothing out of the ordinary. Of course, in this day and age, a man talking to a 12 year old boy is insane and chances are that 12 year old boy would be a cop or something, but back in the day of A/S/L and being 12 years old, I was chatting with real live 12 and 13 year old girls! It was awesome! Even called them up on the phone, though my mom was pissed off when she got the phone bill. Definitely had no other way of calling California from New Jersey except to call the number and get those long distance charges.

My first computer video games were Putt Putt and Doom. I eventually wanted to make video games and thought that learning Visual Basic 3.0 would lead the way, and although I never did create actual video games, this would definitely be the pivotal moment that would help me 15+ years later in my life and career.
Crossbeam's epoch based collection is basically a form of GC, for certain kinds of data structures.

Yeah Bjane's definition doesn't say "no overhead", it says "no extra overhead." If your data structure requires a GC, then writing a GC for it is a zero-overhead abstraction. What I'm saying is "gotcha, you need some runtime support for this" is not contradictory to zero-cost abstractions.
I'm in favor of wiping out mosquitoes, but I think people are generally more concerned about _disrupting_ the ecosystem; not outright collapse. You're right that it's unlikely wiping out any one particular species would collapse any ecosystem. But it can certainly cause dramatic shifts in ecosystems, which people generally don't want.

For example, we recently re-introduced wolves into Yellowstone park. It was done because previously we had wiped out the wolf population, and we're now trying to re-establish it (we did a lot of bad things to Yellowstone historically, but luckily we've spent the past decade or so rebuilding it. The bison are thriving again!).

But, for economic reasons, we used the wrong wolves; cheaper wolves (seriously). Well ... that hasn't gone well at all. They've started wiping out other species in the park, and now that the park is bereft of other large game, the wolves are going after the bison. The bison we _just_ re-established. Luckily the bison are very robust and difficult beasts to hunt, but that doesn't help the fact that the other species have been decimated.

Has the Yellowstone ecosystem collapsed? No. But it has changed; changed by introducing just one species. And the change is quite dramatic.

Oops.

As a Silicon Valley software developer, I haven't seen many credentialed engineers. The vast majority of my colleagues in software have a degree or two in Computer Science, but no formal engineering certification.

Uhh your analogy kinda falls apart as people dont really "use more space" as housing increases unlike where one can easily drive more.

There is plenty of evidence for more housing decreasing prices. And there is actually a limit to how much people will demand to live in a place. Thats why people commute far from outside sf into it for the lower housing prices.

Of course increasing public transportation would also help. Albeit sf surrounding suburbs also have rent control policies so building reallly far away just increasing traffic a lot.
