I suspect this is true in any rural area. Alabama is our version of rural Romania. The population density doesn't support the economy of scale required to make daily fresh produce profitable. So you get frozen/canned/otherwise preserved products. If it were profitable, someone would do it.

You go to a more populated area in the US (basically any major metro), you can get the good stuff fairly easily.

We also have 'food deserts' in poorer urban centers (certain cities in Alabama could qualify). I don't have an explanation for those, I think it has to do with poverty.
True, it is affecting both. I was speaking also to the fact that Manchester by the Sea (e.g.) was made by Amazon. A great outcome for them is simply to break even at the theater. They then have an exclusive movie for free forever. The studios can't afford for all of their movies to break even.
Is this not already in the BTC situation, where you burn more in cost of electricity than you gain from mining? Granted, in this case it would be somebody else's electricity, but that feels a bit ethically grey, as well as perhaps environmentally irresponsible.

Don't get me wrong, I've considered similar things, but I'm pretty uncomfortable with the idea for the above reasons. Plus, whatever people might tell you, even the absolute best JavaScript engine is slow by comparison with other languages.

Example: in the last few weeks due to #reasons I've ported a measure calculation engine for market research data from JavaScript to C#. At first, in many ways, it was a like for like conversion, in that I preserved the data model and general mechanism and flow of calculations, albeit that I applied a much stronger separation of concerns. Nevertheless, with no optimisation, it was roughly 2x the performance of the JS version (V8, of course) running on the same machine. I then started to take advantage of .NET's strong typing for numbers and strings, switched out dictionaries for strongly typed arrays using (obviously) integer lookup, rather than using integers as keys in dictionaries. I also fixed a couple of issues where I was inadvertently using exceptions for flow control, and recalculating strings to generate hashcodes (doh!).

What's surprising is that those changes get me to about 15x faster, and that's really just taking advantage of strong typing and more appropriate data structures that are available in .NET. (JS has arrays, and engines like V8 do optimise for them, even though they're strictly just objects with special properties. Whereas in C, C++, C# arrays are the absolute fastest data structure to access, bar none.) Also worth pointing out that judicious switching from dictionaries to arrays absolutely slashed memory use.

I also implemented the kicker - which happens to be language agnostic - which was to change the moving average calculations to preserve and reuse intermediate results. This got me a 10x performance gain on top of the rest, taking me to about 150x. Like I say, that would probably have been the case in JS as well, so it's not really a fair comparison.

Nevertheless, bear in mind that whilst JavaScript is certainly a lot faster than it used to be, it is not fast, even by the standards of other managed runtime languages. And it's absolutely not fast by the standards of well-written C++ or C compiled down to native code.

I'm not sure how much benefit you'd get from a WebAssembly approach, although possibly something worth looking at.
Maybe you just didn't realize it, because it isn't very common to see someone's full name? It was very much the norm until the 80s-90s, and even today I think the majority of women still go that route.

My brother lives in a town of 8500 in Hungary. That you can't buy food there is less of an issue but even at Budapest it is such a challenge that he visits Austria about every three weeks for a large amount of great but affordable foodstuff. Capitalism did deliver, however: Hungarian people will choose the cheapest crap too often as they earn a lot less than Western Europeans and so that's what you can get.

Pharmaceutical marketing has a role in antibiotics mis-usage, and it can be regulated a lot better. I know people that take AB for the flu, or simply don't take the whole prescription. But at least where I live one cannot get AB without a prescription. Why would a doctor prescribe AB for common viral diseases? Bahamas, that's why.

>We can move those lines, and I think we should, but eliminating them entirely is absolutely certain to harm innocent people at a level I am unwilling to support.

I agree. It's a bit like seat belts or bike helmets: they're mandatory for our own good. Before it was mandatory, people use it if they wanted and took unnecessary risk.

But there's always a fuzzy middle ground...

The general reaction for substance usage goes around 'well it's really up to you, unless you're driving/someone depends on you'.

But as for driving a bike not wearing a helmet, people are a lot less lenient, even if the only person harmed is the self. And this is even before considering welfare, hospital expenditure and such.

Do we need protection from ourselves? Does this just boil down to economic and state welfare efficiency? Less diseases is good because Economy?
Or is this a way of maneuvering Economy towards a place where economic interest aligns with principles of human dignity? Sometimes I wonder.

This is a great write up. I've had similar experiences, and agree, have the server-side game state be the single source of truth.

I basically stuck some visuals on top of the example "counting" snippet on the Elm site (http://elm-lang.org/examples/buttons) and made it multiplayer. First player to count to 50 wins.

I didn't use a tick approach, instead the state of the game was only updated on an event sent from one of the clients. I then broadcast the new state of the game to the other clients.

This is what I made http://retrorace.neillyons.io/ https://github.com/nwjlyons/retrorace. Something is not quite right in the backend code. I think there are problems with waiting for the mutex to unlock. The game feels like it freezes sometimes, but it could also just be a latency issue. The server is in London and I've only tested it with people who are several hundred miles away.

I also had plans to build multiplayer snake but felt like latency would make the game too slow.
If I had to guess, Zuck is still planning on selling 99% of his shares over his lifetime. As part of that, he wants CZI to be funded for the next 20 years. The part of his shares over 50% (which by definition, is less than 99% of his wealth) can do that, so he is going to fund CZI from that in the immediate term.
I think Google is more like that. I think there is pretty fierce competition for AMZN in most markets it is in.

I think the East European are just very sensitive. Yes, there might be some small differences between East and West Europe with some brands. I remember the Polish freaking out about this. Polish are always afraid that their dick might be shorter and have a serious mix between inferiority and superiority complex.

This being said, I traveled a lot in East Europe and did not perceive the food or supermarkets as inferior. Yes, the selection may be smaller.

What shocked me was the bad quality of supermarket food in the states. An average supermarket has very low quality food (cheese, milk products, etc.). Yes, Whole foods makes most European supermarkets whine but so do the prices of whole foods.
Sorry this is just flat out incorrect. There is no comparison between the quality of a random US supermarket and an out of be way village shop anywhere’s in Europe. The US supermarket is superior in every way, especially in both quality and selection. I can go to a local supermarket and buy grass-fed, high-quality beef grown 5 miles away, organically grown avocados, and fair-trade coffee from a local coffee roaster in the same store and it’s cheap. Europeans for some reason have this idea in their mind that’s everything in the US is Walmart and McDonalds, even while the quality of their own food greatly suffers.

And just for fun I’ve lived and worked throughout the US, Europe,and Asia.

> Most candy in the US is total crap, because they've cut out all the parts that make it good to save money.

That's almost entirely a myth. Along with the myth that most of the cheese sold in the US is "American Cheese" or "cheese product." These are fantasy lines of attack on the US for people looking for an excuse to bash.

Here are two more of those myths: the US only sells mediocre, watered down beer (that one has long since been destroyed, it rarely gets used now); and the US doesn't make any good domestic wine that is competitive with eg French wine.

The average Walmart (a mid to lower tier grocery) has a large, normal selection for real chocolate of all varieties (including European). Typically they will have a large half aisle filled with real chocolate candy products to choose from.

The US is the world's largest market for real chocolate.

I see what you're saying, and I buy this. But I'd say we're having a minor dictionary problem here, which is my fault. Experimentation is by definition execution, and my whole point was about execution. I think of the "idea" as a pure concept without any execution. I am totally with you on there almost always a way to test a business idea with a small amount of execution. That doesn't contradict, in my mind, that facade apps using Invision are simply not the right kind of execution to do experiments with a class of experience based value propositions.

From the first snippet:

> It’s scary when even the fruit available is obviously full of hormones. We had a grapefruit for a while and it became an experiment to see if it would ever go bad. After four months we gave up and threw it away – but it still looked fresh.

"Full of hormones" is scary language. Plant hormones exist, but they are very different from animal hormones (which is what prefixless hormones normally refer to). They are indeed used in commercial farming to e.g. help cuttings grow new roots faster, or accelerate fruit ripening (e.g. ethylene is commonly used to ripen bananas). Ripeners are almost the opposite of preservatives, and plant hormones certainly don't explain a 4 month old fresh-looking grapefruit. Neither translates to "fruit full of hormones" in any meaningful sense and it certainly doesn't translate to anything negative. Animals are full of hormones all of the time: if you don't have hormones you die in pretty short order. Plants sans hormones doesn't fare much better.

I'm sorry that their agriculture products suck, but perhaps one can say that without making vague scientific-sounding scaremongering statements.
Are they really diversified though?
Food deserts are places where people mostly have cars and drive to the store.

The Naked Capitalism analysis was a joke, and there literally is no evidence supporting their conclusions.

Imagine Uber issues a financial report saying they lose $3B in a year on $2B in revenues (total spending $5B). We also know they opened over 100 new markets that year, and in new markets spend an average of over $100 each to recruit new drivers.

So what’s the truth? That passengers are only paying 40% if Uber’s ride costs? Or that Uber front loaded billions in new market development costs internationally, while more mature markets like the US are already close to profitability?

Naked Capitalism would have you believe the first scenario, without enough detail in Uber financial reports to give any idea which scenario is true.

Some of us despise Uber so much, that unfounded speculation by NC tells them what they want to hear, so they turn off all critical thinking about it.

Not only does this article ignore rapidly improving Uber financials since the NC takedown, but that booking a ride costs Uber pennies. Their share of the ride revenues is dollars. How is that not going to be super profitable once new market development costs ramp down?
Not sure if it's just miscommunication, or you misunderstand how HAART works, because you said "That is literally exactly what I said", and then in your next sentence repeat the statement that is false, "becoming more resistant to one means becoming more susceptible to another."

For example, suppose you take ATripla, which is a combination of efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir. If a viral particle has a random mutation that confers resistance to, say, efavirenz, that mutation does not make the virus more susceptible to emtricabine or tenofovir. The fact is the virus was already susceptible to those two drugs (that's why you take tests that specify your viral strain's pre-existing resistances to determine the best drugs for you before you start HAART), so it still is unable to replicate.

It's just a matter of statistics, not that resistance-granting mutations naturally make the virus more susceptible to other drugs.

It's hard to define when this is problematic though. Coca Cola uses different recipes in the U.S. and in Mexico.

This doesn’t make any sense. How do companies get away with shipping lower quality products to Romania unless Romanians are less quality conscious? If they weren’t less quality conscious, then companies would be able to do the same thing in Western Europe.

This is amazing. I have never seen a cyclist waiting at a red light. I think you need this kind of culture among cyclists before you can do something like taking away lights. I have never been hit by a car, but I have twice been hit by cyclists either ignoring stop lights when I had right of way, or ignoring bike lane markers and veering into pedestrian walkways. This was in Boston and NYC.
