It is a bit funny though to state it as giving more confidence to the multiplication lower bound, since multiplication has clearly been studied a lot more than network coding. So it makes more sense to think of it as a new possible attack vector to prove the lower bound, if that makes sense.

Came up with something along these lines at my last place - not actually the hardest thing to do as long as you've got a robust & convenient locking system available to you. In my case I abused the common db instance that all the clients were connected to anyway to synchronize the callers on postgres advisory locks. Sure, this isn't the infinitely scalable, Netflix-scale solution that everyone is convinced they need for everything, but it will probably work absolutely fine for >90% of development scenarios.

Hello, Gleam

If we had a medicare-for-all system, we could provide some economic discipline by having high deductible plans, even if those plans are completely covered by a government-funded HSA plan of equal value. As long as the HSA could be withdrawn for retirement if unspent.

We also need transparent pricing and reviews. Sites like ZocDoc are trying to fill the niche of something like Yelp but for doctors. There's lots of easy low hanging fruit here.

> demand for daycare increases, but supply doesn't grow to meet it. The price goes up. Exactly as what we would expect based on the rules of supply and demand.

So, by your logic, demand for daycare workers should rise, supply hasn't grown to meet demand, so the wages for daycare workers should spike up. Exactly what you would "expect".

Except it hasn't. Daycare wages are effectively flat. (In real world dollars, they're actually dropping, once you factor in CoL/inflation).

If "everything is just basic supply and demand", how do you explain all the instances like this where supply and demand are fundamentally broken.
It only really kicks in over the previous best at about n>2^2^4000 iirc.

The reality is the opposite. In the long-term, you are screwed with this voting structure. This structure exists because right here and now, Zuckerberg looks like a good choice. Over the long-term, bad things happen. Human nature is what it is, and the company will be unable to respond (just based on what he has already done, he looks like a below-average manager).

Also, most institutions aren't particularly short-term in their outlook (if you are an institution buying a stock that has a valuation like FB...you have to be taking the very long view). Where the short-term "meme" comes from is analysts (whose bark significantly outweighs their bite) and the pressure that failing companies get to preserve shareholder value (and the real-world evidence here is that managers win close to 100% of the time and take shareholder's money down with them).

In my experience, I have seen countless companies decimated by unaccountable managers (no super-voting shares to my recollection, just weak oversight). I am not aware of any public company harmed by short-term thinking. The only possible exceptions are private equity (but for different reasons, still terrible) and acquisitions...but in the latter case, this happens for a ton of other reasons too. In most cases, there is no pressure.

Tbh, I don't even understand the logic...you can invest heavily, and that isn't showing up on your income statement immediately. It is true that most investors don't understand the difference between ROI and marginal ROI (these situations probably represent a good chunk of my lifetime returns) but companies feel limited in what they can disclose (and I have had conversations with non-US companies to that effect) and, in the end, the market always works it out.

The effect also depends on the type of work you are currently doing. Some work requires more concentration and is more easily disturbed. Other, more routine work, can tolerate more noise (be it audible or visual.)
That's a very bad comparison. The taller buildings are "less efficient" because they're way narrower than the short buildings. If you look at the picture only about 20% of the land is occupied in the tall buildings while 80% of the land is used in the 6 story buildings. If you raised the number of floors on the building on the left while maintaining the same footprint it'd fit a lot more units.

You either build wide or you build tall. If you can only have a 200x200 feet footprint, then building a 30 story building on that footprint is 5x more efficient than building a 6 story building on that footprint.

How to Handle User Insurance?
I'm creating an app where users can go onto other properties. I was wondering how companies like airbnb, uber, lyft find insurance for their business/users.

Key questions.

1) Does the insurance work on a per visit model, per user etc...

2) what types of insurance brokers am I looking for? Such as state-farm nationwide etc...

3) is there a pre-defined word like car insurance or umbrella etc that I need to ask.

The part of the design which piqued my curiosity and distinguish Tinfoil Chat from other messengers is the endpoint-security aspect.

Besides the software it uses a very simple made data-diode[0] circuit especially to prevent key- and plaintext-extraction by limiting the data flow in only one direction. This is used to connect three distinct computers (sending/receiving/networked) from which only one is considered compromised (the networked one).

The rational behind that is as long as your (sending/encrypting and receiving/decrypting) endpoints aren't compromised during installation it's very hard to compromise them later.

That can't be said about Wire on an unsave endpoint like an android phone. On the other hand, Tinfoil Chat isn't the easy to use messenger which you want to recommend to any non tech-savvy person.

We agree, you are just using the word 'faith' differently than myself and arguably most of Christian history.

If you read the epistles the sort of faith you describe is not commended. Paul specifically calls out people who are zealous without knowledge, and on the other hand tells everyone to test everything they are told. He also rests all of Christianity on whether Jesus actually rose from the dead or not. He believed that Jesus actually did based on his own vision and the accounts of the others he met that had been with Jesus while Jesus was alive. So, none of Paul's beliefs were based on the blind faith you describe.
The way they run these studies is crazy to me:

Electronics, especially with displays, are very commonly shipped with protective, removable plastic coatings. How is this at all surprising? Seems like an honest mistake on the part of the user, combined with a bit of design (and documentation) fault on the part of the manufacturer.

I would like to see this is a low end disposable phone. Bear with me on this, but there are many cameras on this phone, it could have just average cameras front and back, good enough for sending WhatsApp messages etc, not winning photography awards. Then the screens. If there was a low-res screen that folded with no extra outer screen then that would be a lot cheaper.

Then if the hinge is little more than two screens held together by a screen protector then you could replace the screen protector bit every year or so depending on use.

One side could be that large battery a lot of people still want and the other side could be the normal phone gubbins with SD card slot, plastic cover and a lame but capable processor.

For people who just want a big screen and don't care for having it 4K it would be great. It could even be at a $250 price point and be affordable in countries that don't have reliable electricity.

In posh countries it could be 'disposed' after three years and be engineered for that type of lifespan, in more resourceful places it could work with the hinge screen protector missing or if one side does not work.

Easy but uncomfortable answer: neither, because "you" don't exist.
True, there isn't an S&P499. But:

1) There are mutual funds that do stick to "value" stocks i.e. low P/E ratios, which would exclude companies like FB.

2) If you really want to, you could take a short position that cancels the exposure to FB in an S&P index fund. (I don't know how legal that is in a retirement fund, but I know you can buy ETFs that have short positions in them, so it should be legal in principle.)

3) People hold actively managed funds in their 401ks (though I don't advise it myself), and those funds may decide against such stocks as FB.

Fair point that large-cap index funds will have notable exposure though.

Obviously the advanced directive solution is largely irrelevant in a 100% coverage/public system. The insurer then makes those decisions for you. But for as long as you have a system with uninsured, there’s value in having decisions made in advance as a “just in case”.

> a government entity (or two) in competition with an open market

Meaningful competition cannot exist between tax-funded and voluntarily-funded service providers. Anyone who chooses the private provider ends up paying for both. The only way to ensure a level playing field is for the "government" entity to be limited to essentially a co-op, receiving no government funding or special influence and adhering to all the same rules which apply to private providers, in which case it might as well not be a government entity in the first place. Even then there is an obvious conflict of interest since the organization that makes and enforces the rules is also backing one of the competitors.

> You're literally restating the tactic, as if that countermands the truth

The truth is the current system stabilizes at two parties due to how the rules are written, and that most voters are de facto disenfranchised at the federal (and, largely, state as well) level for a bunch of reasons. Spending any time or energy getting worked up at someone (uselessly) voting one way to try to work within that system for change, versus someone (uselessly) ignoring (or misunderstanding) that system and voting some other way, is counterproductive.

An effective use of one's time is working at the party level (by which, yes, I mean the two that get elected, not the rest) to get better candidates on the ballot, for one's own definition of better, voting in local elections and advocating for or against local candidates, and educating fellow voters on issues that matter to you. This includes working to change the way our elections work to break the two-party stability point and expand the effective franchise, if you care about those things—the means to fix that are the same as anything else.
> So, by your logic, demand for daycare workers should rise, supply hasn't grown to meet demand, so the wages for daycare workers should spike up. Exactly what you would "expect".

You're changing topics. In the previous comment you were talking about the price of daycare, now you're talking about the wages of daycare workers. Those are two different markets. Perhaps there's plenty of people willing to work as daycare workers, but there aren't enough daycare centers being opened because of restrictive permitting processes. So the supply of daycare workers is still high (and thus, wages don't go up) but the supply of daycare centers is insufficient.
