The problem is that most normal market forces don't apply. Often neither the patient nor the doctor know the price of the 'product' on offer. And to the extent the doctors do know the price they have an incentive to offer the more expensive drug since they make more money that way. And since the patient is rarely paying the full cost they have no reason to price compare and will simply 'buy' what they're told is the best. In most cases Patients aren't even paying for their insurance (to a first approximation) so they don't even have a secondary intensive to keep their premiums low.

Finally people are really bad and uncomfortable with putting a price on human life. I feel perfectly comfortable weighing the pros and cons of different cars or laptops at different prices, and perfectly happy to walk away if I can't find anything I like at a price I want to pay. I have no idea how I would react to having to put a price on how much I'd be willing to pay for a 70% chance to keep my daughter alive for another 2-4 years. But I suspect if forced to decide I would give the highly irrational answer "everything I own plus everything I can borrow", and all the companies in the field are completely aware of this fact

GDPR is troublesome not for requiring something particular which is hard to implement, but because it requires to do something poorly defined, and promising heavy fines for not following the path one can't clearly see. This minefield situation, in fact, makes SMEs much more vulnerable compared to big corporations, and I suppose it's not what most people here would like to see.

I couldn't imagine how I could finish college without pirating most of the text books. Piracy gave me an opportunity to grow professionally and morally through infinite media access. Shure if your upper middle class this is an issue to you , since you can afford anything , and now you can moralize and shame people for pirating stuff, which to me, is the same as bragging of your social status. But I am not rich, and to me piracy isn't , like a choice , it is the only option.

you are mistakenly believing netflix had an extensive up-to-dat3 catalog. They do not, in comparison there are many netflix-like distributors of science papers. Google Scholar, sci hup and the like bind those together.
Depends what you mean. 'Cash' as in a 'fiduciary currency' is just a relative prioritization mechanism. 'We the People' should never be able to run out of 'cash' as we ca always just print more. In fact, 'we' have been doing this perpetually at high volume for some time. It is just that 'we' seem to prefer giving it away to select shareholders rather than to fund public beneficial goods or research.
If they shut down a competitors site and then claim it was just a mistake they will probably not be in trouble at all but they would cause a lot of trouble for their competitor.

There is nothing to say the market won't solve problems. Innovations like Gilead's are inevitable. A cure might make less money than chronic treatment, but once a cure exists nobody is buying the treatment. It's rational to develop the cure if you want returns.

I agree that, if one-shots get to be profitable at all, incumbents cannot smother them for being less profitable than continuous treatment. Somebody else will do it.

The problem is if searching for one-shots gets to be unprofitable altogether.

In my experience it is like learning a spoken language. If you know a language in the same family then learning the new language is relatively easier (e.g, Java -> Scala, Lisp -> F#). I also think the ease of learning a language is proportional to the ratio of expressiveness of the language you are coming from to the expressiveness of the language you are going to (e.g., Lisp to F# might have a much easier time than F# to Lisp).

To me the biggest thing that made event sourcing click was when I was working on an internal app that needed full auditing. With event sourcing the audit log is the authoritative data source.

Learning that there was a name for this and that others had worked it out better than I had was very handy. I didn't find a need for a book because I found reading Martin Fowler's article[0] on it to give me a good enough understanding.

I've found that it's a less well-defined pattern than some implementations make it seem. There are many trade-offs to be made. At the one extreme you can treat events as physical events that can be easily understood. Let's say we have a user that wants to add a phone number. Well, we could have an AddPhoneNumber event. But this leads to a RemovePhoneNumber event as well.

But you can also take the other extreme and say that each event is a set of collected information -- perhaps a different element of the root of a json object -- and that you can just diff to see what changed and only need to look at the latest such event.

I've found there's a middle ground that doesn't require too much thinking: related data goes together if it's not going to change very often. So I will generally put all contact information in together as an UpdateContacts event. This way we don't need to implement all the list operations for phone numbers and can skip looking for such events after the latest has been found. You also still have something simple enough to work out what changed and that is unlikely to fill your storage.

If you are implementing event sourcing, I would like to point out one thing that I didn't see written anywhere: set a reasonable upper limit on per-user storage. Because you will find somebody who, even not maliciously, just keeps changing things back and forth and it's better to stop them adding events than to stop all users by running out of disk space.

Before the corp FB instance we had Wikis, Email, Mailing Lists, Jabber and an internal "Youtube" like Video Store. It all sucked.

With the FB instance, the awareness of what goes on in other parts of the company is much higher, the noise level is lower, communication is more timely and generally you feel less stressed out. Email numbers are down, mailing lists practically do not exist any more (except for machine communication such as commit messages), things organize neatly in FB groups, and you kind of automatically find the groups that are relevant to work. The Wiki hardly sees discussion any more, and is mostly documentation.

There are a lot of problems in Workplace by Facebook, mostly in the messenger product (no spatial metaphor, i.e. no rooms, only groups, being the largest). But in general it has been an amazing improvement on what we had before.

This is vastly preferable to accidentally leaking customer information. If this is the price we have to pay for having good guarantees that we can be forgotten, I think it is a worthwhile tradeoff.
So assuming Gilead spent per drug 10% more than the company that spent more in that list, they recovered the whole development cost in a single year. Most industries don't come even close to that.
Copying and pasting SQL (and other code) works just fine in Slack btw...

Vaccines also only get administered once, or a small number of times, per patient. It's hard for them to be as profitable as a drug which is "take this 3 times a day with meals, for the rest of your life, or you die".
If your ultimate goal is sustainable profit, it would be rational to not even look for a cure at all.

As long as there is no practically usable permanent cure, everyone has a stable source of revenue from chronic treatment solutions.

Once anyone develops one, the chronic treatment would become significantly less attractive (as you say), so revenue would become less predictable for all parties, including the party that developed the cure.

If you dig even further, you will find things like 'unhappy people consume more as they try to buy their way out of misery'. Now of course you don't directly sell unhappiness, but you can sell goods of which the consumption benefits the individual that consumes it, but deteriorates the world a little bit for everyone as a result. A car is a perfect example. Great benefit to the buyer, but through noise, pollution, taking up space etc. a bit of a nuisance to all others and making them more likely to also consume a car so as to at least participate in the benefits. This ends up in a situation where everyone gets locked into a net negative system where individual escape (dumping your own car) just makes you worse of as you just forego the individual benefit without any perceptual change in the collective negatives.
Pick a last date with plenty of time (say 3 months). Write down your thoughts in a doc - make it detailed and touchy with reasons for leaving, a rough transition plan, timeline. Schedule a lunch. The night before, send the doc. So that he reads the doc, gets 12-14 hours to digest and think, and then reconcile with you and work out a transition plan.
I assume it would not be one process common to all of them, but more like with some you will have to mine additional stuff like Thorium which you have nothing to do with later, or you will have to wash them with other chemicals and stuff to separate them, sometimes they are radioactive themselves etc... tedious in any case

This is one of the best points I have read. Without the community knowing how he is doing it—it can be used maliciously.

There are extremely good reasons for police officers to want access to an iPhone (which could be time dependent). At the same time there’s a lot of potential for misuse of the ability to gain access by agencies or malicious actors.

It’s a trade-off. I err on the privacy side of the issue because things can be misconstrued in a legal setting. I can see why some people don’t have the same viewpoint and lean the other way.

All possible pharmaceutical innovations are not "inevitable", at least not in any given time frame. It may be that pharma companies know which R&D approaches have a chance of producing a permanent cure, and which ones are more likely to result in a chronic treatment, and they focus their efforts on the former.

I don't agree. Herd immunization is a solid concept. Besides, AFAIK most vaccines do not just work short-term while increasing the likelihood of future vaccination need.
Keep in mind that 6-10mbps isn't going to be enough for casual users in a few years. Take gaming for example. Companies are regularly releasing 6-10 GB patches willy nilly because they assume their customers can download them in a matter of minutes/hours.

And that's now, when there's still large urban areas in a lot of countries on DSL. Once that DSL is phased out, rural areas are going to need better sattelite options or expensive long stretches of fibre to not fall behind the curve.
The thing is that when you go down the list of employee classifications, Uber looks in a worse off, not a better off, position.

Uber basically decides the interaction with the client. They place relatively strict conditions on how to deliver the service (can only use these kinds of cars, etc). Uber guides almost all parts of the service.

Another that doesn't get talked about a lot: This is Uber's main business. Uber is essentially a car-rental service. The fact that the drivers are providing the primary service of Uber is another potential indicator that the drivers are, in fact, employees.

The very flexible schedule + commission-based payments are more evidence of a contractor relationship, of couse.
Sure it is. Gilead made 100 billion dollars curring Hep-C with seed research investments that were probably much less than 1 billion.

So as long as this strong differential and potential for profit exists, drug companies feel competitive pressure to produce better treatments, irrespective of the fact that "milking" the pathology would yield them trillions collectively. It's effectively a "tragedy of the commons" of sorts: a single company trying to capture more of the market ruins profits for everybody else by finding a cure; behold, the magic of the free market.

They can only escape it by entering non-compete agreements and collectively agreeing not to inovate, a substantial claim that requires substantial evidence.

when I see that nokiatech "tech" where some dudes make these nice documents on how to pack images in mp4, all reaction I get: WTF?! don't see no tech in there. All that shit exists for videos, treat image like a video file that has a single first i-frame and nothing else, that's what AV1 in mp4 is all about. Is their tech about limiting possibilities with mp4? I didn't ever read their tech and wouldn't bother spending even a minute. Like a year ago I started reading it and was WTF is this bullshit, a doc on image container format!??.. well, still all different devices will produce shit load of random mp4 structures, what's the point, you'll always have to deal with that pain in the ass that comes with all these possibilities with mp4 and you basically need a full blown lib to deal with it you pretty much cannot code it manually to parse mp4 to get coded image and show on the screen.
Indeed - we designed ours in a similar way as you describe and whilst GDPR causes a small bit of work for us it is not like we face a total design flaw type issue that it appears people are experiencing with Kafka.

We are looking at adding a Nuke command + Nuked event that will serve to destroy all data in the aggregate root snapshot and leave behind (effectively) a tombstone snapshot. The command handler will then purge all prior events leaving behind just a Nuked event. This means the event stream doesn't just disappear entirely, it can still be synchronised out to dependent systems, and indeed those systems will learn of the nukage just like any other event.

Of course, the Plaintiffs have no reason to do this to a random joe - it's more interesting when it happens to someone the ACS would be legitimately interested in pursuing. Reading the language of the injuction and amendment, it seems that the focus isn't even so much on sci-hub itself, but rather protecting the copyrighted material of the ACS. It seems like Ebalkyan could host a sci-hub-sans-acs.org with materials not copyrighted by the ACS. It also seems that you can't really trick it by having say, Ms Janina Kowalska registering centrum-nauki.org and serving all the content that appears on sci-hub.

I'm also not clear on the specific mechanics behind the injunction. Let's say that Ebalkyan does create sci-hub-sans-acs.org and claims all the copyrighted works are removed, can they still block it preemptively? Does Ebalkyan have to submit evidence that she's removed the copyrighted works? Can they demand action against anyone else that "seems" to be sci-hub? Is there a level of evidence they must meet? It kinda sucks to be ignorant of a legal system which can have so much impact in your life...

Realities get murky when you talk geo-politics. Some times it's in the interest of the US, to protect the self-determination of a nation, especially when it goes against the interests of a geo-political adversary. We see this with your country, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, etc.

At other times, it means selling F-16s, Apaches and munitions to Saudi Arabia, so they can carry out a brutal bombing campaign in Yemen. There are no good or evil regional powers, only national interests and the smaller nations which either get in the way of those, or help you achieve them.
