Bernie's a genius and super humble guy. I was lucky enough to work close to him during his last months in Switzerland before he left to NY. He's inspiring.
libraries and apps _should_ get different treatment. A library often has to coexist with other unknown code (open world assumption), an application you're controlling is effectively existing in one specific universe: the one you define (closed world assumption).

You wouldn't write your application to support 5 versions of Django, but you _probably_ would do so for a library.

That said, I do basically agree about `pip` existing already. We could have built a tool to manipulate `requirements.txt` files instead of introducing another format and a toolchain that is _much_ slower and brittler. Though ultimately at this point Python packaging woes feel like they are at a much lower level (the fact that libraries end up being "installed" mean that preparing all your dependencies to go out to multiple servers is a mess).
No way do I put all my personal documents in the cloud of a company that doesn't do customer service, gets rid of whole product lines without warning whenever it feels like, and has no recourse to actual human help if you're locked out of your accounts and can't get authenticated.

You would want to back up your google documents offline or on another server constantly, which defeats the whole purpose.

> If country X can produce food cheaper than yours, your farmers will be unprofitable and you'll end up importing food

It really depends on where the tipping point is, country X might have a slight advantage but measures like this can widen the gap, then secondary factors like economies of scale kick in.

> If both countries impose a carbon tax in the same amount, nothing about that has changed.

Most international agreements are (rightfully) trying to give developing countries a reprieve and let the developed ones shoulder must of the short term burden for the renewable transition. But it's happening at the same time that we're reducing tariffs and developing countries get a double advantage while the working class in developed nations get a kick in the guts.

> Moreover, the best way to do a carbon tax is to just give the money back to people -- use it to fund a UBI

I'm all for both, but using a carbon tax to fund UBI would invert the incentive, governments would want companies polluting more to fund their welfare commitments. We see the same with high cigarette taxes, the government gets dependent on them for general revenue.

China Outraged at Arrest of Huawei CFO in Canada After US Request
I've been meaning to try something out for some time -

Take the results of a big search engine, and programmatically filter out everything that contains something from the Adblock filter list. Not just getting rid of the ads, but ignore the entire page if it contains advertising. Iterate through enough results until you actually get the first 50 or 100 hits not containing any advertising, and return those as the basic search result.

There would be collateral damage of informative pages that attempted to good-faith "monetize", and you'd miss out on the stackoverflow results etc, but I would hope this would surface many of those super informative sites of yore. That is assuming they're even still indexed.

The best part is how this will make your disc slower to use afterwards. The blocks are normally stored out of order, so that the time it takes to send the data to the computer is about the same as the time it takes for the next block to show up under the drive’s read head.

The answer is very little compared to the whole market. And Sanofi targets the US market to fund its drug development. If they were not active there they would be a super minor company.
For example,

"This is a much better model, but going from research to clinical practice seems to be a very slow process."

You omitted, mistakenly or not, the vital qualifier that the model in question is better not for general personality modeling and prediction, or even psychological pathology in general, but specifically for analyzing the much narrower domain of personality pathology.

In your child post for the submission, you directly imply that psychology does not collect data and try to quantitatively predict things, saying "Start collecting data and start trying to quantitatively predict things." When called out on this error, you post a link to a study that does both of these, and the conclusions of which you misinterpreted.

Yes, the replication crisis is real. Yes, psychology is probably the biggest offender. No, the crisis is nowhere remotely close to only being a major problem in psychology.

Communications and research in QFT and the like are absolutely jammed packed with math because they are the easiest sciences to perform correctly, and are the most amenable to being accurately modeled with simple equations. I am not exaggerating when I say that - remember, a rigorous description of both general relativity and the entire Standard Model fit easily on one standard legal size sheet of paper. You can't even say that about chemistry, let alone even higher level emergent phenomena. Psychology is -hard- to reproduce, not from lack of effort, but because it's fucking hard.
> It's a bunch of very talented, bored engineers who realize that launching a product, even if it fails, is better for their career and resume than doing grunge work that might be better for google's bottom line

I wonder if, and how much, this plays into the vast number of contractors Google pays to do that very "grunge work".
> Capacity keeps increasing while performance remains darn near constant,

The recent capacity increases seem to be mostly driven by stuffing more platters in, so as long as they don't have independently servoed heads (used to be a thing, maybe it becomes a thing again? Perhaps not fully independent, but still "ganged up" with some sort of micromechanics in each head to servo it to nearby tracks?) or increase data density (bits/cm^2), throughput must plateau.
I think it's worse than that. It does stick. They actually hate it when it sticks, because that is when it becomes a career sink. That is, too important to the business for people to leave it behind but not important enough that maintaining it is promotion worthy. I strongly suspect that the reason so many products get shut down is not to do with financials or the product's actual usage and adoption, but because the there's a valley of death in which association with these products during this phase of their lifecycle is a negative career move within Google. So most likely really good engineers flee these products because they might become successful more than because they are failures / failing.
It surprised me too, especially as it means you now have a rather inconvenient 254 data bytes per sector.

(The BBC Micro's ordinary disc filing system also stored contiguous files. I'd always assumed that this would be pretty standard for 8-bit systems... it simplifies reading and writing of files, and reduces the amount of metadata that needs storing.)

Tesla should focus on building cars first. They have enough supply chain issues that getting into the general aviation market would be spreading far too thin.
I believe the argument being made is more on the user's magnitude of engagement. Users interact with facebook on a very close level - there's a level of emotional intimacy that users have with facebook the platform that they don't have with the corner bakery. To draw an analogy, imagine if a bank suddenly decided to run an experiment to tell people that they had lost all their money and that there was no recourse. Wouldn't that be a pretty fucked up thing for a bank to do?
Yes it does. Everything is installed in the venv folder. To start fresh you just delete it [and restart bash].

One area of non-competes I'm somewhat familiar with is consultants/analysts for a particular market. If they leave, sure, they can go work for a vendor or other participant in a different side of the market. Which is a very different job. But they basically can't do their role with another firm or independently. And my understanding is that these non-competes are regularly enforced.
Thats only if you consider the drug itself without all the cost of running operations and research. The actual profit margin at the company level is far from 80 percent. I suggest you read annual reports to educate yourself.

updating requirements.txt is a pain, and also development dependencies vs normal ones usually results in two requirements files. lock files are a good way to do this, so borrowing from npm et al isn't a bad move.

> You get paid for the goodwill value and you should not be able to capitalize on the payment and simultaneously raid the goodwill of your former practice by competing against it.

No, employees don't get paid for "goodwill value" - whatever that means - they get paid for work they do in the course of their employment. If a company stands to lose if one of their employees changes jobs and works for a competitor, then the employer should be sure to give them generous raises and compensate them for the fair market value of their labor - not by relying on legal threats. I'm baffled by how widespread this belief that employees have some moral responsibility to sacrifice opportunities to the benefit of their current employer. Be a rational actor in the labor market, doing otherwise is an easy way to get taken advantage of.
This Plant Is Driving Its Own Robot
Your assumption was incorrect. Were you trying to imply something? If so, I didn't understand the implication.
Does not matter how much it costs in other countries. the reality is that pharma companies make their revenues in the US at the level of 70 or 80 percent. You can be sure the level of investment would be very different if prices in the US were much lower. In practice the US is subsidizing drug development for the rest of the world.

"If theres one reason for Zaha Hadids exceptionalism its wealth."

She was by all accounts from the time, and in retrospect, a star student during her time at Architectural Association. Not just a top student but an exceptional student. She was also fierce in her determination to succeed, something still difficult for a woman at that time in a male dominated industry full of egos. She persevered, and like a lot of women of that time who did, were punished for it.

As well, I've heard plenty of stories about her treatment of staff which is inexcusable behavior, however that's immaterial to her artistic vision and capability.

Her connections certainly helped her career, yes, they always do in business. She wasn't exceptional because of her wealth.

Bilbo Baggins currently exists, as a fantasy character.

The character in my new novel Tina Taggins will be a gnome though. I haven't written in that character yet.

"is" vs "will" is a tense thing. This isn't yet a plane like Tina Taggins isn't yet a character in my novel so "will" is a appropriate.
I don't understand why this comment isn't higher! Honestly, using `conda` eliminates the pain of python dependency & environment management entirely. Clone a repo, do `conda env create` (from the project's `environment.yml`), then `source activate $ENV_NAME`. Straightforward. Easy. But most importantly, reliable!

I’d say the system sucks when a valid reason to exclude someone form an organ transplant is “don’t have 10k in savings to cover rejection meds”.

Without Medicare for all it’s a pay to win system where the cost of life saving treatments are literally beyond what most people could ever reasonably make.
The point is about the wording. That this is possible at all is bad regardless of whether it's pro-democrat, pro-republican, pro-communist or whatever.

But you complain people are calling it "manipulating an election". They're calling it that because of who is doing it (foreign agents) and why they are doing it (to gain control over a powerful enemy state). That is what makes it election interference and it seems very purposefully blind not to acknowledge it.

>This is essentially saying that it should be legal to circumvent embargos.

Yes, that's true. The US embargo policies undermine the prosperity of foreign and predominantly poor nations (including Cuba), the freedom of companies to engage in business with third partners, and the sovereignty of other nations, in this case, Canada.

It is a shame that the US can still bully businesses and countries around like this, and it is an even bigger shame that Canada complies.
one or two milligrams?? that's about 10 hits. but you can't mean micrograms, since one or two mcg is below even micro-dosing levels. So I'm curious if it really was 10 hits (which seems like an expensive way to sleep!), or if you meant something else.

> So if some Western company would trade with Ukraine or Georgia in violation of Russian sanctions, should their representatives be arrested and extradited to Russia?

The US is still the sole global superpower, it is still (yes, despite Trump) largely charged with maintaining the world order that has existed since WW2. Russia is not a superpower, its reach is regional and it has few allies. You'll see a lot of varied answers in this thread, the only one that matters is this: the US can do things that Iceland (tiny nation) or Russia (large, regional power) cannot because it's far more powerful in most every regard. That's not meant to justify any arbitrary flexing of that power that the US does, it's an explanation for why the US can do it and Russia generally can't in the case of Georgia. It's an imposition of will, backed up by immense diplomatic, financial and military power. Few countries will comply with a Russian request to arrest an American executive, dozens of major countries will at least consider a US request like the one in this case.
This is awesome, but I also wondered how much effort it took the Snappr team to build? I suspect just having a plug/link in the footer is enough, plus SEO juice.
It's the same problem. Google dips their toes into too many ponds, doesn't commit, and then EOL's a product people care about (not sure that's the case here.) It's that cycle people don't like, so of course there are complaints on both ends.
Well, tying your labor force to the land should be no basis for a free economy!

Imagine, just shackling your primary economic labor force to an arbitrary plot of land and demanding taxes and work of them?! How ghastly.

Next thing you know, you'll be claiming right to their innovations in the advancement of farming technology. Ill have you know that I shall not be sharing MY designs for soil improvement through the addition of various rock powders and animal droppings for a greater yield in the annual barley production with this stingy, short-sighted lord. That's for sure.

And don't get me started on Johnson's idea about switching out the types of crops grown between plots. There is no way I am going to share THAT idea with a lord who limits MY ability to migrate between estates!

Marketing is needed everywhere, pharma included. You dont spread awareness of a new drug just by filing an application to the FDA. And marketing expenses are high because potential returns are high and make or break a drug. Note that you dont have really new drugs every year so you need marketing anyway to convince prescribers why your version of the drug in the same class as your competitor is slightly better. In reality most drugs of the same class are pretty similar in efficacy and side effects, but thats a tangential topic.
Airplanes always get most of the energy from ascent back in descent.

VTOL will get less back because it's grossly inefficient.

Note that drag needs to be deducted from the potential energy. There's parasitic and induced drag.

Sure. Java uses use-site variance. Clojure has an "all ways" variance, as it's untyped. But Java, Kotlin (mostly declaration-site, some use-site) and Clojure all share the same data types without any need for runtime conversions. In general, you want to bake as little of the type-system as possible into the runtime; just as much as necessary to provide your most essential features. Reifying generic types with subtypable indices is a feature with very little benefit and a pretty big cost in lost flexibility.
The market impact appears to be negligible. At least not as large as factor as implied or popularly claimed.
Large companies rise, and then fall to clear up the space for the next aspiring large company. It's Google's natural destiny to fall, too.

Interestingly, the lifetime of a company is directly tied to the attention span of its customers. As long people come to the store asking for Coca Cola the company will endure, so this is probably generational. Enterprise software sticks around, so does Oracle. Internet consumer technology promotes attention span that's measured in seconds, Google can come crashing down quite suddenly.
I think primary care workers are generally underpaid and specialists are generally overpaid. That said there's a lot of variation in the data. If you look at some studies of why the US spends more than other countries on healthcare without better outcomes, the difference in prices between the US and other systems is a significant driver. Labor (particularly physicians), drugs and administration costs more here than elsewhere [1]. It's true doctors go through a lot of training, but I'm not terribly sympathetic to stories of a surgeon not being paid enough. Family practice, primary care I'd be more inclined, but even there we spend more than most countries it seems. [EDIT] I'm less sure on what the "blue collar" healthcare workforce (health aides, etc.) wages looks like, I would totally buy that many are underpaid.

Administrative costs are a terrible drag, and I say that knowing that currently I am personally paid by administrative costs. We could bring them more in line to the international norm, but we'd still be substantially more expensive because administrative costs are still not the bulk of total expense.

Drugs are an interesting story because the US effectively subsidizes international drug costs [2]. Also, drugs are a way to stop way more expensive interventions (better to take a $100K drug that cures Hepatitis C than get a liver transplant that will cost far more than that and won't give as good quality of life), so maybe in some ways we should spend more there if the treatments are worthwhile. That said there are disturbing pricing trends in the industry that are clearly exploitative.

In summary, what nationalized systems buy you is fewer administrative costs (good), price controls on medical services (maybe good, but necessarily docs get paid less down the line), price controls on drugs/devices (maybe good, but maybe trade-offs in developing treatments that are less expensive than other interventions). All of the parties involved will be fighting this "efficiency", some more justifiably than others. Who knew healthcare could be so hard?

Exactly. So per the non-compete, you'd have to take a position where you are only 40% as valuable as you could be—and the 60% noncompete makes up the difference.
