The majority in terms of cost or volume? Also is this figure including oncology treatments - those drugs can run 1k/pill and while some are potentially cures many more are just pushing eventual death a bit further off. These drugs would quite possibly skew any statistic that isn't designed precisely to account for them.

Also I think it's not really fair to take full lifetime costs into consideration at once. As you get older you'll be looking at those much more expensive treatments and covered by expensive insurance but the insurance tends to be of a higher quality when it comes to reducing sudden costs - I am more concerned about younger people who generally have terrible insurance and may get hit with 4 months of 20k physio due to a sudden injury but generally have low "normal" costs.
the past 12 years of algorithm optimizations remove a fator of log(log(n)) from Strassen -- which means multiplying 1million bit numbers is 20x faster, ignoring constant factors and cost of cache misses. Constant factors and hardware architecture are still hugely important in choosing the best practical implementations for a problem.

You know, I can't remember why it vexed me so much. I think there was a time back in the day when serial cards would have to add a CR because the C printf() would terminate in just \n. And a number of them did it in the wrong order, and some printers just did not have enough time to get back to the left edge.

Much like the annoyance of trying to find a keypunch in the student keypunch area where the machine didn't have a bunch of broken star wheels for the programming drum. Some burrs under the saddle can be relegated to the dust bin of history.
Landmark Technology’s Terrible Patent Has Survived
If you are the university dean or administrator who hires the professors, you maybe prefer the hot-shot professor who brings in a boatload of research grant money over the professor who gets the best teacher ratings.

The university gets a cut of the grant money and gains a bunch of reputation points for putting out cutting edge research. High teacher ratings are great, but the big universities care less about these and more about the number of Science and Nature papers a professor produces.

> Why is it not possible for a private non-accredited college to establish an industry-recognized degree of reputation?

You're absolutley right! This is very possible.

In practice, the process you describe is both more difficult than accreditation (because it's undefined) and less trusted by industry (because there's nobody trusted validating it).
How not to report about how not to acknowledge a data breach includes dubbing silly music over the other guy speaking to further prove your smugness. While it is always fun to say I told you so, you can still be professional about it.
It just means you live in a very privileged world.

If, say, you're a black lesbian feminist, you can live the most saintly life, there are plenty of people who are your enemies, and who'd delight at the idea of being able to hurt you. Despite never having anything done to you.

Or, if that's too contemporary, you can be the nicest Jewish person in all of Hitler's Germany, and it still wouldn't save you.

If that's too Godwin's law, just be poor. There is a good chunk of people who'd be perfectly OK with experimenting on you, just because you're a drain on society's resources. And we can continue on - there are any number of axes along which society separates, and there are always people who consider "the other" an enemy, or, worse, something not even human.

Enmity and dehumanization isn't necessarily mutual, but you need a very strong support system to be able to ignore that it still exists.
Might be fastest but it’s not intuitive for my way of thinking. Perhaps because I am so entrenched with the n^2 method.
The real history of CR LF.

Western Union's earlier Teletype-based services used tape printers, which printed on narrow paper tape. See this video, "Telegram for America", at 6:31.[1] Note that the operator typing in the message is typing "blind" - she can't see what she's typing and is expected to make no mistakes. At the receiving end, the message is printed on narrow paper tape and glued down by hand on telegram blanks. (We've done this at steampunk conventions. For smaller conventions, I put a little tape printer in a fitted Anvil case, so we have a nice portable setup.)

While page printers like the Model 15 were available, WU was mostly tape printer oriented. Compatibility between the systems needed something to convert an unbroken stream of text into lines with CR LF sequences at the end of each line.

So they invented the first word wrap device.[1] - a box full of relays which counted the characters and put in a CR LF at a word break when necessary. This was coupled to a Model 15 Teletype with a pin feed platen and some other extra features so standard telegrams could be printed automatically.

"Due to the inertia of the carriage, the travel time for a full line is in excess of the time required to send one character (space) and even with a short line, dash-pot operation with attendant carriage bounce produces an irregular left margin".

Two character times are sufficient. Hence CR LF, which overlaps the carriage return and the paper advance.

I do that today in a Python program.

A machine that needs more than two character times for a carriage return is out of adjustment.
Perform procedure "Carriage Return Spring Drum Adjustment" from page 32 of the "Model 15 Adjustments" manual.[2] Also see "Printing Bail Adjustment", page 10, if the carriage is sticking on carriage return. Follow the oil-grease-oil lubrication procedure on the printing bail rails - light machine oil, light grease, light machine oil again.

Welcome to maintainable technology.

The simplest solution is private rights of collective action in court. The rise of the forced arbitration agreement that has been allowed used to ban class actions is anti-consumer and anti-free market. Markets cannot work correctly if consumers cannot band together to hold fraudsters accountable. This leaves the only possible source of accountability as the government, which is inherently problematic.
Not all allergies are like that. I would wager the vast majority are pretty mild symptoms easily treatable with anti-histamines. I myself have allergies, but I never even notice because the air at work is filtered and I'm not outside long enough for symptoms to manifest as I travel to and from my car.

Maybe the case could be made for fighter pilots (though I still think it's a non-issue for 99% of people with seasonal allergies), but what's the excuse for disqualifying for all aircraft? Airline pilots can have allergies and fly. How is that much different from a heavy cargo plane?

> For example: Why is there a shortage of daycare in Seattle? There's no shortage of space for it. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/developers-struggle-to.... There's no shortage of demand for daycare - https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/you-should-get-on-.... . And all those Amazon employees are flush with cash.

But the point is, there's still a shortage. It's not the mere fact that wealthy people exist that is causing the cost of daycare to go up. It's the fact that there isn't enough daycare. If the demand for daycare went up and the supply didn't change then daycare would have gotten more expensive with or without Amazon.

> "Daycare centers will just pay more for labor, to hire more people" you say. "This money will trickle down to everyone that way" -- except it doesn't work that way - https://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/broken-economic.... . Just because Amazon people can afford high rates, doesn't mean everyone can. So daycare becomes broken for everyone, despite the "benefits" of the extra cash.

Sure wealthy people may be the only ones they can afford scarce goods and services, but wealthy people don't directly cause through scarcity. Scarcity is caused by lack of supply relative to demand. A sudden influx of residents increases demand, but this is fixed by increasing supply.

I'm really confused at why you're using this as an example of how the rules of supply and demand don't apply. This is a perfect example of of how supply and demand functions: 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.

The interesting thing with both FedEx and UPS is that they also guarantee delivery times for regular "ground" shipments, which are fairly prone to delays. The exceptions are circumstances out of their control, such as weather or recipient issues. And they suspend during a couple holiday windows.

Great question. We take a very maximalist stance here and do not provide any environmental API’s in the Bosque language. Instead all IO, data-time, IP address operations must be part of a host platform – similar to how JavaScript does not provide IO or an event loop in the spec but relies on the browser or Node.js to provide it.

With this model the host can just log/record the environment interactions. The details of this host and integration are an open issue, both research and engineering, but I am very excited by the AMBROSIA architecture (https://github.com/Microsoft/AMBROSIA) by one of my colleagues as a possible design.

Actually no, KMT was at war with CPC. By unification, KMT meant (notice the past tense here) taking out CPC and rule mainland themselves.

This position has changed 180 degrees in recent decades. The unification now KMT is promoting is essentially just give up and let CPC take over.

Notice KMT is a foreign political party that originates from mainland China.

Taiwanese people never had a say in that (Taiwanese social elites were slaughtered by KMT) before DPP became a real political party that's born and raised in Taiwan.

Ma Yingjiu's statement was to maintain KMT's legitimacy as a party in Taiwan, that is, through a country named ROC.

However, for Taiwanese. Our country is called Taiwan. And that's how we recognise ourselves long before 1911.
I think that's a pretty terrible stance to take, for a short term event like this there is no disadvantage to sharing the structural security of the bunker with others. The only time locking yourself in is really important is if it's a long term disaster, either something nuclear (where this is most valid) or a natural disaster, like a hurricane (where your bunker is essentially just a really secure fridge/food storage device and the structural soundness of the bunker is _less_ relevant (but not irrelevant))

> are you willing to force everyone else pay twice as much

Comparisons to other (first-world) countries with socialized healthcare systems suggest that it shouldn't be necessary for everyone to pay twice as much. If everyone paid exactly the same amount as they currently do (in tax + insurance premiums) there should be plenty to fund a first-world-standard national health system.

It's difficult to know what you can afford when you can't find out even an approximate price until it's over and the bill arrives.

He’s not implying that the space in the file is somehow limited. He’s pointing towards the same problem you are guesturing at in your second paragraph: that “listing” copyright holders really only makes sense when there is only one of them. Any more than that and you raise the legal question: who exactly has copyright on which parts?

When there is more than one copyright holder, you absolutely need language to address that in the license. MIT license has no such language. Apache 2.0 addresses it by requiring CLAs, per-file copyright and attribution notices, etc. Blue Oak addresses it by using terms that start with "Each contributor".
Yes, and that's a feature. Human brains are swayed by narrative, not by rote facts. If you want to get a positive change implemented, you need to tell a story.
I can definitely concede there can be some asymmetry, but I think it's system dependent.

As the Boeing 737 Max 8 shows, adding new items (in this case a new design element) is also fraught with risks. You have to get the root analysis correct when adding or removing elements. Adding has risks of unknown (not accounted for) like removing has risks of unknown (accounting forgotten).

In the end, I guess I still believe the best strength is in good analysis at the consideration stage.

I agree that Kuwait is a much better example. Now, look at what Kuwait (or Bahrain, currently considering similar laws) has had to sacrifice to achieve something more closely resembling general prohibition of psychoactive compounds (although it's note-worthy that opioids are legal in both countries with a prescription; I'll wager that they are widely used as a substitute for "recreational" drugs).

Do you want your country (or mine) to be like Kuwait or Bahrain? If you can agree that that's the sacrifice required to make prohibition "work" - is it worth it?

FWIW, this style of governance is probably not possible in the United States partly because armed resistance is trivial. So it might be a moot point for the purposes of considering the ramifications of genuine enforcement.

It sounds like you and I agree on the capricious enforcement paradigm inherent in US drug policy. What I think that you haven't explored is why it is this way. That's really the heart of the matter.

> I've meant drugs that are defined by the UN as illegal: https://www.unodc.org/documents/scientific/Terminology_and_I....

Yes, and those too are chosen for political purposes, to give the appearance of legitimacy to an argument that doesn't make sense in the real world.

> David Nutt is also proclaimed as world drug expert, but his book is riddled with huge amount of lies by omission.

Indeed. David Nutt is not the kind of "expert" I'm talking about. He is perhaps an expert in some of the "hard science" components of drug use and abuse (although even there, his activities have called his expertise into question). He is not an expert in matters of drug policy and the history of drug policy, as was made all too evident during his short stint in government.

If you want to read or hear convincing material from drug policy experts, look to Ethan Nadelmann, Kevin Zeese, Tom Angell, Irina Alexander, Rick Doblin, Jim Gray, Mike Gray (no relation), Michelle Alexander (no relation), etc. These people have committed their lives to researching the specific societal implications of various drug policies, and I think they make deeply convincing arguments rooted in fact and sound theory.
