> "Savings account" however is commonly interpreted as including things like a stock market account, and therefore include most investments.

It is? If posed that question I would've responded like the GP suggested and only thought about what is in the bank account that's called a "savings account" and ignored any investments.
I don't know, I feel like neighborhoods where no one has outstanding warrants would be more desirable than neighborhoods with many.
A stock market account would be a brokerage account, and that is very different (practically and legally) from a savings account. For one, a savings account is insured by the FDIC, a brokerage account is not.

My problem with CockroachDB comes down to two major issues:

1. I need a read slave. With MariaDB Galera, I can slave a database of a local master, but Cockroach AFAIK can only do master master. Adding another node to a cluster that will just be read from seems like a lot of unneeded overhead, and can cause massive issues if there are sync issues.

2. WAN sucks. Where I work, I've seen mysql slaves get hours out of sync due to packet loss. With a centralized system, I don't have to worry about reconciling data. If every site can accept data, then I have to assume that every site will remain in sync. If Site 1 gets out of sync and/or stops transmitting data, another site could make further changes to the record in question causing issues. Some places this is perfectly fine, but dealing with transactions of counting clicks, I do not want to be dropping data or running into conflicts.

> Sharded Relational databases come in many shapes and suffer from as many different types of ailments when deployed across regions: some sacrifice replication and availability for consistency, some do the opposite.

I think this is a great point. You have to know what your database is doing, and how it does that. It seems to becoming more common for people to develop on something without know how it works; just to get bitten down the road. Any problem is going to get exasperated when you introduce it to the wonderful world of WAN.

I'm not ragging on the product; it's a great good enough product for most use cases. I just more wanted to share my thoughts. If you can tolerate partial consistency, go for it. It a great run and done product.

> Only companies with very sophisticated operations teams can seriously set an SLA for five nines. It’s doable, but comes with a heavy lift if your service is doing anything non-trivial. It’s certainly not the default position among the industry as far as I can tell.

Five 9s is do-able for a small group of you work from the ground up (infrastructure to application). Dual site Postgres Citus with a slave coming off the Citus cluster, sitting in-front of a pgpool-II load balancer. Then replicate a slave out to each site you are running in the world. If you are running an API out there, use rabbitmq or kafka to relay transactions back to one of the sites or accept the latency and run raw commands over the wire.

Five 9s when you are trying to drop in a solution is extremely hard, so I give a major kudos of CockroachDB for making that reachable with a drop in solution.

Depending on what an expression “obviously means” is how you get unhelpful answers and misinterpretations of the question.

They should have phrased it in multiple ways to clarify what they were asking eg “do you have $1000 ready to spend without incurring further debt? Include checking accounts, savings accounts, money market mutual funds, and any other financial account from which you could withdraw $1000 without penalty within one business day.”

Edit: if you ask me about my “savings account”, I’m going to answer about “things that are explicitly called by the name ‘savings accounts’.” (It’s hard to infer intent without context.) If they want to know about my “[liquid] savings”, they should say that, not some other term of art with a technical meaning.

Additionally, for families with retirement savings, the median amount of 60,000 dollars. [2]

It's not how they asked the question, it's not about savings account rates being low. Most people don't save. Most people are not prepared for retirement.

I'm not really sure what your point was.
But you seem to think that doing something better is not solving a problem. Sure it is, just a slightly doesn't problem. Your car analogy... The original problem was a carriage needed house to be pulled, the solution was the combustible engine. The next problem was the engine want fast enough. Then the engine used too much gas. Then the problem was it cost too much. Perhaps working on the 20th iteration of the engine isn't as hard as inventing the engine in the first place, but there are still problems to be solved, and value to be added.
Sure, the winner isn't always better, sometimes they just have better marketers. But most of your original examples the succeeder did something better. Yahoo want a search engine and it was noisy. Google was simple and it find stuff. MySpace had a spam problem. Sometimes the new thing is just easier to use, or looks nicer, or it does one small thing the other doesn't.

Usually the currency is tied to the protocol to incentivize people to keep the network up and running - this is essentially what mining is. By helping the network to confirm transactions (by mining or staking) you get rewarded with the transaction fees that people pay to make a transfer on the network.

Now, there are zero transaction fee protocols like the DAG based IOTA for example (and I think NANO works this way too). In order for your transaction to be confirmed, it has to confirm two previous transactions. So essentially you get no reward other than the fact that your own transaction will be confirmed as well by the next coming transactions.
The 85% number sounded really odd and specific.

Turns out the 85% number is quoted from the "Top 30 Targeted High Risk Vulnerabilities" published in 2015[1], which came from Public Safety Canada's "Top 4 Strategies to Mitigate Targeted Cyber Intrusions" also from 2015[2], which came from the Australian Signals Directorate's report "Top four mitigation strategies to protect your ICT system" from 2012[3], which says (emphasis mine):

"At least 85% of the intrusions that ASD responded to in 2011 involved adversaries using unsophisticated techniques that would have been mitigated by implementing the Top 4 mitigation strategies as a package."

A far cry from "as many as 85 percent of all targeted attacks" quoted from Intel in 2018.

Can you give an example of a system which is not based on axioms? There is none. There may be hidden assumptions but there will always be axioms. Axioms are simply definitions that are kept constant. In your case you make the assumption that absolute rest exists. The axiom of the universality of motion is a good one because it agrees with the observations.

The U.S. median income is $59,000. There’s no reason if you’re making that much money to not have $500 saved up, so by definition of median at least 50% of Americans should have some kind of emergency fund... I’ve made less money than that and still had money saved up.
That’s the 12 cents per mile in depreciation. This is maintenance, warranty costs, earlier wear out, etc. So far this hasn’t resulted in any real costs, just depreciation from the miles so it’s getting saved away for exactly my next car.

It’s odd how many people I have to go through this math with. I guess people can’t break out the different expenses. Again, cars vary so if you have a high cost car rather than Prius it will be harder.

It can theoretically be less than minimum wage, but even so. There’s no minimum wage that lets me work between 0-20 hours a week and take off as many days as I want, whenever I want.

That’s why it’s cool for part time. But using it as your primary income is much different. But I’d rather do it than work retail.
It gets worse: many are essentially wanted for being the wrong skin color. A lot of laws disproportionately impact people of color. AKA systemic racism.
