Yes, there are efforts in this area. I started a first-principles database kernel design 4-5 years ago which has a couple different licensees and implementations, and should be showing up in a broad platform relatively soon. In open source, ScyllaDB is a credible implementation that goes half-way to addressing this (as an intentional reimplementation of Cassandra, it inherits some of the old style architectural features of Cassandra for better and worse). I am aware of a few other efforts at tech companies but in my opinion these are a mixed bag because they are borrowing too heavily from existing classic architectures for the sake of expediency to fully realize the benefits.

The archetypical differentiating features, relative to classic designs, of these future-looking (for lack of a better term) kernel designs is the prodigious exploitation of user space I/O, dearth of multithreaded synchronization, and the paucity of classic tree-like data structures (not necessarily hash tables, just not trees). The industry will get here eventually, some emerging tech sectors absolutely require it for their data models.

I tell this to my college age kids. One of them is off touring Europe right now. I asked her how she is paying for it (and pointed out that I've never been to Europe because I can't afford it). She says she is going into debt to do it, but it is okay because experiences are more important than money. She is studying anthropology and non-profit management. I've pointed out that there aren't very well paying jobs with those kind of degrees. She dismisses this and says she isn't in it for the money. How many other Gen-Z kids are also in it for the experiences and not the money? Judging by her and her friend group, she's not the only one. I tried teaching her financial prudence, but social media exerts more of an influence on her thinking than all my example and talk every could.

As someone who has years' of experience each doing non-trivial commutes by driving and by subway, I'd have to say, the subway wins hands-down. It's not even a close contest. I was doing the most reading of my life when I was taking the subway to work every day, and it was great. I also occasionally played handheld video games or read magazines. My commute time wasn't wasted; I spent it doing things I wanted to do. Contrast with driving, where my commute time was wasted.

And driving is much more stressful and unsafe, as well. You can't be off when you're driving, but you can definitely be off when you're taking the subway. On days when I was especially tired, I would just zone out with my eyes closed.

Now I just have a 10 minute bike commute, and it's my favorite commute I've ever had, but I do miss reading as regularly as I did back then on the subway.

>incompatible with our culture.

Culture, or system of governance? Culture is too wishy-washy a term. It seems to easy to give up - ah sorry, Americans are just too stupid/lazy to figure it out. Nah. I want to figure out what specifically about the structure of our infrastructure development is, and fix it.
> It's basically the difference between a green field design and tacking all those innovations onto the glueball that is linux. The latter may be ugly and complex, but it has the advantage of being backwards-compatible.

I'm definitely not trying to argue in favor of the paper's opinion. :-)

I just believe the author of the article would disagree that the glueball your earlier remarks describe addresses the author's concerns. They specifically say that Linux cannot be fixed to their satisfaction, or at least argue that idea.

Look for the section on page 5 headed, "Why not use kernel-bypass techniques on Linux?"

> Healthcare is best managed as a risk pool.

No, health insurance is best managed as a risk pool, which, as you say, should obviously be everyone.

But much of health care is not health insurance because it doesn't deal with insurable risks. Your need to get an annual physical isn't an insurable risk. Neither is a one-time appointment with a doctor to see if your headache and runny nose is just a cold or an infection that requires antibiotics. The first isn't insurable because it's a predictable recurring cost; the second isn't because it's a routine service that shouldn't be so expensive that you can't pay it out of pocket.

Health insurance should be focused on the things that are insurable risks: emergency care, hospitalization, etc. Things that aren't insurable risks, like the above, should be handled differently. But our health care system insists on treating these very different things the same, which of course is going to lead to huge inefficiencies and high costs.
There is clearly a market for tublr style porn, and it is a market that most of the industry refuses to touch.

Pornhub is leveraged to overcome most of the difficulties in that market, which makes tumblr more valuable to them than it is to most companies.

Put another way, most buyers would proceed to (continue to) destroy a significant portion of tumblrs value in order to be willing to operate it. Pornhub would not.
I have a feeling that without the US market capable of paying a hundred thousand dollars a patient, many of those cost-ineffective treatments never get developed. People could still pay for them out of pocket, but without the guarantee of insurance payments the drug companies likely won’t take the risk.

And I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing — if a drug costs $500,000 and keeps my cancer at bay for 6 more months, it provides a high personal benefit from my selfish point of view; but at a high cost to society without much societal benefit. I think you’re right that Americans do lack the realism, but it may become easier if those treatments aren’t developed in the first place.
Probably because Adobe's PDF reader is full of vulnerabilities and constantly used to spread viruses and compromise machines. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more malware infested PDF files on the internet than legit ones.
I wonder who their target market are. ML requires a solid math background and the ability to customize every detail of the process which drag-and-drop tools never fully provide. I understand that it's always beneficial to have more user-friendly tools, but I still think ML experts - at least those who don't just copy-paste code snippets from SO - would still prefer the more professional R and Python packages.

Maybe Microsoft aims at teaching ML to beginners, which still would be detrimental if they get used to just that.

I've been learning TLA+ for the past two months, hoping I could use it as a formal language for software design generally and not just for concurrent systems. I'm enamored with the idea of using math formalisms to describe a state machine.

But now that I've gone through Lamport's (very charming) video tutorials at OP's link and studied some of the specifications at

https://github.com/tlaplus/Examples/tree/master/specificatio...

I'm less sure now that I can. I'll keep plugging away, but if anyone here has any suggestions or offers any alternatives, I'm all ears.

PDF is fine if you are using a laptop/desktop/tablet. But it doesn’t fit well into phone screens. Usually I have to turn my phone horizontally and then zoom in little bit. And when I reach the end of the page I have trobles turning it. And sometimes page turning messes up my perfect zoom fit etc. Responsive PDF is what I need...
Depends on the kind of game, but probably not. That's not really the purpose it's meant for, so it will probably never get to that state.
And now we have the worst of both worlds:

Those patients have no coverage so get Emergency treatment for acute symptoms of their issues that rarely fix the underlying problem, and beyond that we also tell them to go fuck themselves.
From the article:

In Xinjiang, authorities have created a system that considers individuals suspicious based on broad and dubious criteria, and then generates lists of people to be evaluated by officials for detention. Official documents state that individuals “who ought to be taken, should be taken,” suggesting the goal is to maximize the number of people they find “untrustworthy” in detention. Such people are then subjected to police interrogation without basic procedural protections. They have no right to legal counsel, and some are subjected to torture and mistreatment, for which they have no effective redress, as we have documented in our September 2018 report. The result is Chinese authorities, bolstered by technology, arbitrarily and indefinitely detaining Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang en masse for actions and behavior that are not crimes under Chinese law.
Machine Learning pipelines are at their core a sequence of data transformations. Having a concrete visualization of said transformations may make developing ML pipelines easier, and also allow for clearer communication between developers (and their managers, and potentially future auditors) as to what components they're working on and how they fit together.

Also, by using input output blocks (as opposed to generic functions that can potentially access global state), the data dependencies of different components is made explicit, and can make tooling around that easier. (I don't know how strongly this is enforced in this implementation).

Granted of course, one's mileage may vary.

Super cool paper!

I think there has been some scientific inquiry into this idea of a "limit" to certain "mental faculties" -- in a graduate seminar I was attending a few years ago, I remember reading about how "attention" is capped to 2-3 points of interest in our visual field. The experiment was done with movies if I remember correctly.

> They may be allergic to a particular juice they are getting.

I'll just say it: don't give your baby juice. It's bad for just about everything, and good for basically nothing.

Babies should be breastfed, or given formula, and then gradually introduced to solid foods like oatmeal, mashed bananas/apples as they grow older.

Once they're toddlers and done with breastfeeding/formula, give them water to drink. Anything else is just a net negative.
The very first part of the article explains how the NHS denied coverage for certain breast cancer drugs because it was too expensive. My concern is that the Americans won’t be willing to do that. Here, you see all these articles talking about how terrible it is that families went bankrupt going out of pocket after they hit a $1 million cap. The UK wouldn’t have paid for that treatment in the first place.

You're absolutely right, I misread that statistic.
I feel exactly the same. In a particularly surreal moment a few months ago, I was in a newly-constructed Indigo store here in Kitchener, next door to a cinema multiplex, and there were so few books in the central gathering space of the store that they had a seating area set up in front of a giant flat wall that had a decal on it designed to look like bookshelves.

Where have we come to when even a bookstore uses a picture of books for decor in place of actual books?

I have no visibility into Amazon, but using subdomains let you shard across multiple IP addresses.
The only obvious thing that occurs to me is that bringing the bucket into the domain name puts it under the same-origin policy in the browser security model. Perhaps there are a significant number of people hosting their buckets and compromising security this way? Not something I have heard of but it seems possible. Makes me wonder if they are specifically not mentioning it because this is the reason and they know there are vulnerable applications in the wild and they don't want to draw attention to it?
I think the point is more that you should be comparing far-out exurbs to closer-in suburbs of major cities.

Of course property in San Francisco or NYC is going to be significantly more expensive than far-off sprawl around Houston. As they say in real estate, it's all about location, location, location. Living in the city is highly desirable for many reasons beyond just having lower transportation costs.
IMO, this is an improvement - it makes it clear that the bucket is global and public, whereas with the path you could believe that it was only visible when logged into your account.

It also helps people understand why the bucket name is restricted in it's naming.
> Can someone explain to me why such a clause is necessary?

Because legally, such a plan offers you literally nothing and there is no rational reason why you should purchase it. To purchase it would be irrational and likely a result of someone trying to swindle you out of your money.

> why would they pay more to purchase a plan that duplicates that coverage from a private insurer?

A few reasons I can think of:

- They're continuing a plan they've had for years and would rather keep paying for it than accept change.

- Marketing tricks them into it despite it being a stupid idea (see timeshares for evidence this happens in reality).

- Because it comes as an add-on to a larger package with something that _does_ have value.
Interesting solution - I don't know how the visa system works but if these doctors decided to switch careers after they got here in order to provide better for themselves/their family is there anything stopping them? It still seems like it's misaligning the incentive structure to produce the desired results.

At the base of the issue is that being a doctor is a difficult, stressful job that requires high intelligence and sometimes even high physical dexterity. While it's nice to think that people would choose to do it because it's moral to take care of people, I don't think it's fair to expect that these people wouldn't want to be appropriately financially rewarded for their gifted skillset.

Revolvers are absolutely more popular in areas where ammunition capacity is restricted. 7 round .357 is a great option in areas where there is a 10 round max for magazines.

Places out east (NY, NJ) have extremely low limits for capacity, both in effect and proposed. When ammunition capacity is reduced, there is an incentive to go for a (typically) more reliable revolver. Many people would rather have say a 7-shot 357 S&W wheelgun vs a 9-round (maximum) semi-auto magazine.

I ankle-carried a .357 snub for most of my life, and it literally weighed less than the 5 rounds that it held.

The point of trying to get on an employer's insurance plans were that people were not excluded for pre-existing conditions because the employer plans were less selective (and also correspondingly more expensive, though the employer contributions hid the additional expense from the employees).

Being uninterested in celebrities has saved me a lot of time. I've sat at a dinner table where my friends chatted about some celebrity getting married or something and at then end of it, there was really no value except that they all connected around some loosely connected gossip about a celebrity.

It's some times the juicy stuff that gets people interested at first and then they go down to the point of knowing so much more than is necessary.

Another one I find kind of off-putting is how so many of my friends are very well versed in "famous" serial killers and their histories. Why don't people spend as much time learning about things that brought good to the world and not misery/suffering?

I'm actually confused why everyone in this thread is saying PornHub is full of illegal content.

First, they have tons of verified accounts with revshare ala YouTube monetization at the same or better rates / view.

Second, MindGeek owns all the tube sites and all the premium sites. Them and advertising networks like TrafficJunky are the equivalent Google Ads for the adult industry.

The premium sites are heavily affiliate marketed to the tune of mid $xx per free signup, or $x per email, or massive mid xx% rev share for life of a paid signup.

MindGeek and the premium sites give out all the content or upload themselves the content on the tube sites.

Furthermore most videos and metadata is syndicated through standard feeds so all the tube sites have the same stuff.

Just standard funnel / marketing / sales process.

I am not making judgement on any actually illegal content that might be there or actually copyrighted stuff; but really it seems the vast majority of it is allowed to be there.
Easy to advertise to sure, but easy to sell to? Not so sure.
The worst consequence of a car-heavy culture, to me, isn't the pollution (or any other externalities we don't normally account for because cars!).

It's that a car-heavy culture takes the choice away for everybody for any other transportation.

I'm sure driving around Houston is great, but say I don't want to, for whatever reason (I want to drink a lot to celebrate something)...or say I can't, because of a health condition...

because of the car culture, I now have no choice.

There should be a way to structure cities to return choice to people, instead of giving up 35% of our usable land to streets that force people to move about in personal vehicles; freedom should mean the freedom to choose one's transportation, not just the freedom to own and maintain a vehicle.
I think the reality is that we don't have control over everything, not that we don't have control over anything. At a minimum, we have control over our own actions. I also think that accepting what we don't have control over is a path out of depression, not into it.

But that may depend on how much a control freak a person is.
Yes there are some requirements like "the kids have to be able to read, and they have to take certain core math courses". That's a lot different than having one game in town where everyone gets essentially the same thing.

There are private christian schools that teach creationism and have religious classes. There are Montessori schools which probably have bordering on nothing in common with the christian school above beyond basic literacy and math education. So there is still an enormous degree of flexibility and choices that you have when choosing education in the present system.
Forget externalities, car owners aren't even actually paying for the roads they use. Gas tax pays for significantly less than half of the road budget in the US, although the exact percentage varies on a state by state basis. The rest comes out of general tax receipts.
