That’s expropriation. If you have a rough idea of the target market, growth rate and you know how much longer the patent will last you can upper bound and lower bound the loss of the intellectual property holder.

If you want patent free medicine I suggest at least looking at what medical research looks like without the possibility of supernormal profits on some drugs to make up for the losses on all the many, many other drugs that don’t make it. One plausible model would be how the Soviet Union did drug development but I know very little about that bar that the pschopharmacologicals in Russia etc. are in some respects quite different from those used in the West.

> I still fail to see how "economic inequality" is a bad thing.

It's a bad thing because it is an objective fact that it is a source of human suffering. You might have a moral or aesthetic preference that humans should not respond to inequality that way, but that is no more meaningful than a belief that they should not adversely react to oxygen deprivation.
Structure and control.

My wife and I foster, so we've spent time parenting a number of children and all do so much better when they have structure and control over their lives. Kids act up when they can't figure out what's going to happen next. But, if you're consistent and structured they are able to relax and get comfort out of knowing what their day will be like. Get into daily routines and do the same things (as much as possible depending on schedule) day in and day out (in the same order if you have toddlers).

Children also need control. Let them pick out their clothes. Let them decide on the sheets for their bed. Give them money to buy their school supplies. Things like that. Make sure they know that you're there to answer questions, but let them succeed ... and fail. But be there.
The problem is not SEO updates. The problem is that there is only Google and no one else.

Google, under Eric Smidt,start prioritizing big/branded sites over mom-and-pop. Nothing wrong with it - their search, their choice. The problem is that because they have overwhelming market share, there is no other choice left for smaller sites, but to shut down.

They have overwhelming search market share not just because of search algo, but because they own the hardware that powers it, they own the browser which delivers those result, they own the analytics which tells them more about you and they own the ads on every site you go to.

A startup should have the right to compete with Google - even if they dont build their own browser, even if they dont build their own analytics, even without the huge hardware farms and even without the ad engine that powers google.

Once we split Google up, these network effects go away. Smaller startups can compete with Google on a relatively better footing. There can be more than one search providers and hopefully some of them can favour smaller shops as opposed to bigger brands.

That's the Special Air Mission, which is a unit within the US Air Force. It's responsible for the highest level of VIP transport (President, VP, high-level cabinet, some special Congressional missions).

The GMT FAQ [1] has 2023 for a partially complete telescope (3-4 of 7 mirrors) - only the future will tell if there will even be a point of time where the GMT actually is the largest (optical) telescope in the world.

And for certain applications the four VLT unit telescopes [2] can already be used as one big telescope [3][4].
Even with 4 mirrors in place the GMT would only have slightly more collection area than the four VLT telescopes combined (8.4m primary mirrors versus 8.2m primary mirrors).

> Think about something like Netflix - the $10 a month subscription is nothing to the rich person

I don't see myself as rich, more like middle class, and $10 is nothing I worry about too much.
Ugh, yes. When I was little my parents kept telling me I'm smart so every time I got a bad grade they told me I could have done better (but didn't show me how) and whenever I was sure I was going to get a bad grade because I knew I didn't fully understand something or hadn't prepared well enough they just reassured me I'd be fine because I'm smart.

At the time all I would have wanted to hear is "it's okay if you don't do well on this one" (because it'd have taken the pressure off when I knew I couldn't do well) but what I really would have needed to hear would have been "yes, you're not well prepared, so you might not do well on this one but we'll help you prepare for next time so you won't be in this situation again".

I mostly got by avoiding homework and underperforming (I had the talent to do well enough but didn't put in the effort to take advantage of that) but my parents only intervened when I was at risk of having to repeat a year -- and at that point the only way to make progress was rote learning, which I hated and was (and still am) extremely bad at (because I had never done it before).

So IOW you may think your kid's a genius but the important thing is not to let them rest on their laurels. Don't obsess over grades but make sure your kid participates in class and does their homework like they should or else they'll skip on that out of habit and will be woefully underprepared when they run into situations where they can't get by on simply being a "genius" (which may be sooner than you think).

I took the founder's advice and didn't trust him.
The answers you have gotten so far are terrible. There is no discernible move to a "point to point" model in commercial aviation. That's a myth straight from Boeing's marketing department. Instead, the reason the 747 and A380 sales have suffered is that the entire aviation industry has suffered from the tripple whammy of 9/11, the Global Financial Meltdown and high fuel prices. Both p2p and trunk routes saw massive shrinkage in passenger numbers for a while and strong growth in recent years.

I.e. airlines couldn't even fill the flights they had, so they did not spend big money (that they didn't have either) on big airplanes. This has changed however. The 777, the newest version of which seats almost as many people as a 747 does, is selling very nicely. Since the A380 project is close to breaking even now and airlines have shown a willingness to discuss new sales, Airbus is almost ready to commit to a midlife upgrade. That doesn't sound like much, but it's a massive step up from just a few years ago.

The reason the 747 is the only big airliner that just no one is interested in buying anymore is that it is an incredibly old design that was kept alive by the fact that it was the biggest commercial airliner on the market. The moment the A380 was announced, 747 sales started to taper off. Once the latest embiggening of the 777 was announced, there was just no raison d'être for the 747 anymore.

Also, the claim that twin engine airliners are cheaper or more efficient than quads is a myth as well. The number of engines itself has nothing to do with it, because quads can generate the same amount of thrust with smaller engines than twins, making every engine cheaper. Upfront costs for airliners scale linearly with size (i.e. maximum take-off weight) and running costs (i.e. fuel and maintenance) scale linearly with thrust. Both are independent of the number of engines, though larger airplanes that require more thrust tend to have a larger number of engines.

Strange decision indeed, they could use one of the existing technologies like Ripple or Stellar.
A low baseline is common in bipolar disorder, too. It was (and to a lesser but unfortunate degree, still is) very commonly misdiagnosed as depression because of this. It reacts quite differently to drugs than depression; many anti-depressants pose a high suicide risk when taken by bipolar individuals. While the overall effect during depressive periods (which can last years) in bipolar seems the same, it seems to have a different underlying cause. Normally you wouldn’t get cycling that fast, but AFAIK, there is even less research so far about how psilocybin affects bipolar disorder. I’m not trying to diagnose anyone... just something to think about for anyone who thinks they might be suffering from depression. I think I was misdiagnosed for many years, leading to decades of ineffective treatments.

That's like selling your car vs selling your car with 10.000 dollars in the trunk. Obviously it affects what I'm willing to pay.

But the important question is still the worth of the car - which is very complicated to determine objectively and with f.e. classic cars nearly pure speculation.

So does this combination procedural language + neural net architecture allow random modification of FORTH words or does it only allow random use of pre-defined subroutines with random values for parameters?

Random modification / creation of random algorithms sounds like Doug Lenat's Eurisko. The use of random values for parameters in a pre-defined subroutine sounds like a contraint propagation language like Prolog.
I guess the random use of a pre-defined set of subroutines is similar to a system that does load balancing for choice between various algorithms instead of different machines.
Note that the list price in the US is way higher than that (over $2000). But list prices are not actual prices (the average discount may be around 25% for Humira).
Because historically people would fast for religious reasons, eg Lent, and a rich meal after that period would be a break-fast. A meal like eggs, pancake, bacon might form a break-fast. Then as ordinary people grew richer they'd take a rich meal of similar form much more often, habitually in the morning. Finally all morning meals became known as breakfast, even the ones that resemble a traditional fasting diet (oatmeal and water, or dry bread, say).

Am I close?

Modern usage of "fast" tends to mean not eating at all. Historic British usage would be most associated with the Lenten fast I'd imagine.

I suggest reading a microeconomics textbook. In the absence of price controls price will be set such that supply equals demand. It does not surprise me in the slightest that a drug that people really, really need and that is still under patent protection is very, very expensive.

Prices are what makes supply equal demand.

Blockbuster successes, massive profit makers are what pays for all the many, many failures of drug development. There’s quite a bit of research on the economics of drug development but the thing that I find the most convincing is that the big drug companies aren’t exceptionally profitable. They’re pretty much in line with what you’d expect of multinationals of their size, 10% or so profit on revenue per year. Scientific publishers like the accursed Elsevier earn supernormal profits, 33%.
This is a thought-provoking and well-written blog post about programmer biases when it comes to reading, and judging, other people's code.

The author is making the point that code readability is ultimately in the eye of the beholder. I've come to share the author's views, and I have to say I don't hear it said much in programming culture. At most places I've worked, there's this culture of constant refactoring under the guise of "continuous improvement," when really, if you look closely, it's really motivated out of disdain for the last developer's programming style, and in my opinion, a general aversion to reading code.

Reading code is about 10x as hard as writing it. It takes more concentration, it's less fun, it's harder, and it doesn't impress anyone. You have to know the language better than the person who wrote it, because not only do you have to understand why the code does what they intended it to, but you also have to understand why the code does other things they didn't intend (a.k.a. bugs). But in my experience, you save your team
a lot more time and energy in the long run by preferring to read and understand existing code.
Yeah the author said something along the lines of

> beyond only the packs of pills we have been offered as often the sole item on the menu for the depressed and anxious

several times in that article, and it just doesn't ring true for me. Maybe the author is specifically talking about American psychiatry or maybe the people I know were just lucky, but all the people I know that have been to their GP about depression or anxiety (granted not a huge sample size) were offered CBT first and foremost and only one of them was prescribed medication at all in the end.

Dogecoin started as a currency to tip users in forums and other message boards, like Bitcoin. Right now though it actually offers a lot:

- lower transaction fee's than most other coins, faster processing

- high volume, so it's cheaper to shift from Coin A to DOGE and transfer, than say LTC, ETH or BTC

- it's a pair to trade small cap coins against, which BTC currently fails to do, as the smallest BTC unit 1 Satoshi is $0.0001459864 as of today

I personally have never bought it, but it's more than a meme right now.

Similar story here, except I discovered that the Doge I had sitting around on an old HDD was worth around $3000 in August, so I recovered it and exchanged it for Ethereum.

If I'd held on to the Doge it would've been worth twice as much now. Oh well, it's free money so I can't really complain and I still think Ethereum has more potential longer term. Not that I'm an investor by any stretch of the imagination.

I run a sole prop in Canada too. I agree for the most part, but I think the "more taxes" aspect would be very situationally-dependent. Perhaps if you intend to flow all of the corporations earnings through as income immediately then you may pay more taxes, but often one reason to incorporate is to be able to defer those taxes by only taking the income that you require at the time (tax deferral to years when you'll be in a lower bracket). The only way I've been able to avoid huge income tax bills as a sole prop is by making massive RRSP contributions. Being incorporated would give me a bit more flexibility in that regard.

You could also employ a spouse in a role (e.g. administrative) to provide a form of income splitting (although the gov't is planning to crack down on abuse of this).
This is what I'm afraid of. Just as nearly every mobile game has switched to in-game currencies, other apps will develop their own (crypto)currencies. The benefits to the app owners are numerous, and users always get screwed.

1. The app owners control the denominations in which the currency can be purchased, and they can structure prices to maximize the average user's unused balance.

2. Once the proprietary currency has been purchased, transactions using that currency need not go through the confirmation dialogs required for cash purchases. That removes a chance for users to reconsider and back out.

3. Because of (2), apps can inject dialogs with 'offers' to buy things at points in the workflow where the user expects some other dialog. Users who aren't paying close attention will end up wasting their currency on accidental purchases.

4. The only "real money" transaction is the purchase of the currency, so any protections that consumers might have had with cash purchases in their jurisdiction may not apply when the proprietary currency is used.

5. On top of the usual bank/credit/debit fees, you can expect app currencies with a cash out capability to include additional fees from the app developer.
Unlike real portfolios, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gets to replace losers with winners. Dropped by the DJI since 2008 are:

+ Alitra, Honeywell for BOA and Chevron: Remember Honeywell?

+ AIG for Kraft Foods: AIG was worth close to $0 and Kraft was worth something and so the DJI went up because averaging in something is better than averaging in nothing.

+ Citigroup, GM for Cisco and Travelers: GM was at about $10 and getting bailed out by the government. Consumer spending was down for Citi. The internet was exploding and Travelers had cash reserves to invest in the down market.

+ Kraft for United Health Group. More money in fixing the problems that come from eating Cheez Whiz than selling it.

+ Alcoa, BOA, HP for Goldman Sachs, Nike, Visa. Remember HP?

+ ATT for Apple: Replacing the ~$50 ATT with the ~$500 Apple made the average go up. If you can swap out shares in your portfolio similarly, my advice is to do so.

The conventional advice is to play the market because the DJI is up. It doesn't explain how the DJI works and that you can't replicate its performance. And if you are retired, you have to live off the money and the size of your pile is shrinking not growing. The conventional advice comes from an industry that has no problem using your life savings for its own purposes.

Kids are going to use whatever their parents put in their hands. All of my nieces and nephews has some type of smart device (tablet, or phone). They are on it all the time. They never paid for it but it was given to them by their parents.

If parents stop giving their kids smart devices, then they will use that spare time doing something else (e.g. video games, homework, hanging out, smoking, idunno). There's no need for a study at all. Kids, in general, don't have money to buy an $800 device.
