> TARP didn't cost anything

This assumes zero value of having the Treasury backstop a business. There is always a cost associated with making an investment (which TARP was). In a sense, the entire discipline of pricing risk is based on calculating this cost.

Whether or not the chosen risk eventually paid off is a different question than the whether the risk had a cost to begin with.

* - I was a proponent of TARP as one of the better risks on the table.
I worked on Loon for a few years. It's a different use case. At "only" 20km altitude, they are able to provide LTE service direct to standard handsets. Starlink requires a dedicated rooftop terminal with a phased array antenna.
I guess when you pump 4 trillion dollars and a federal guarantee of "we wont let these assets fail" into "toxic assets" then they become worth something.

The information I've seen would seem to suggest that smoothies are somewhere in between fruit juice and whole foods.

Yes, you do start with whole fruit. But then you stick it into a piece of food processing equipment and process the bajeezus out of it. That seems to have an effect on how your body digests it. One of the noteworthy differences is that it makes it a lot easier for your digestive system to extract the calories from it. So your body's going to see it as a more sugary food than if you hadn't used a machine to pre-digest your food a bit before eating it.

I've also heard tell that liquids just aren't as filling as solids. Meaning that liquefying your food before eating it makes it easier to over-consume.
>-Most nutritionists agree you shouldn't have more than 5g of sugar outside of fruit sources-

Do they? seems like a weird random number.
On the contrary. It's fantastic on large-scale projects in part because it keeps them much smaller.

I think you're picturing just losing messages, but that is not what happens unless you explicitly design a system to randomly drop messages. The reality is a system where by default you'll typically still get exceptions if you call something that does not exist (and in production use, the stack traces from those exceptions likely ends up somewhere like Bugsnag), but where you can selectively override what happens and e.g. redirect messages somewhere else. If someone sends a message that truly can not be handled, we'll still throw exceptions.

But that flexibility means you save a massive amount of boilerplate. When I switched from C++ to Ruby, that was a major driver - I'd spent years doing meta-programming using templates, and was dimissive of dynamic typing. Until I tried it and realized that for the pitfalls it has, the amount of ceremony and boilerplate that was cut was astounding.

I write all my code in a homegrown editor these days. It uses Drb to split the UI frontend with a server that holds all open buffers. Drb is a Ruby RPC library that uses the ability to intercept all messages to dynamically create proxy objects that serialize calls over the network connection. Because we can do that, it's almost entirely transparent and no custom code whatsoever needs to be written.

If the server side throws an exception, by client catches it and throws me into a REPL (or it could have dumped state and exited if I preferred). Messages don't get randomly lost, even though the client side objects have no idea what the actual interfaces of the server side objects are.

Why is TARP the only program we judge with ROI?

Investment into NASA or infrastructure or education also has a return on investment, but anytime TARP is mentioned in comparison someone will bring up its ROI.

I know the answer is that the ROI for TARP is so much easier to quantify, but I still want to make the distinction that it's not unique for a government program.
For the next 2 or 3 years on frontend? Definitely React. Without a doubt.

I am from Brazil and I am looking for a job right now in the US or remote. The sheer quantity of React positions everywhere makes it a certainty that the best time investment right now is React. Not a single doubt in my mind that this is true for the next 2-3 years.

But don't neglect some fundamentals that count a lot for the best paying jobs. Back-end knowledge is one. It will be valuable for employers to know about at least one back-end for web tech (Rails, Django...), good SQL skills, some basic devops knowledge like continuous integration configuration, strong Javascript, etc.
They don't see it as their country going down, they see it as "making it great again". As the other poster said here, what a very large fraction of the US really wants is a religious ethnostate, and they're very good at voting for that, so that's where we're headed.

Studies lately are showing that artificial sweeteners are just as bad if not worse for you than sugar.

Apparently aside from the nasty chemicals, they still trigger an insulin response which makes your blood glucose crash and makes you crave sweet, fatty foods.
Going to the moon again, making a permanent moon base, manned missions to mars, and other manned missions get proposed in every administration to make some headlines and excitement but ultimately in every case, they fail in funding, or politically, and they all quietly disappear and are forgotten.

Interesting idea, it makes sense for the most part! I'd worry about needed "clearance" to view claim information however. How often is this actual DoD clearance? It would seem unlikely to be able to get API level access for anything restricted to be able to package it up for claimants.
agreed - if someone asked me to measure out 50 grams of sugar i have no idea how much that would be
The sentence that was quoted implied that you would eat only potatoes, not just as a side dish.
A few of the recipes use eggs but you're right, they could be used more often. It's actually not bad to stir in an egg while cooking (for example) pasta to add flavor and protein. With the right ingredients you might not know it's there.

Something's up with the retrieval of images. Getting errors (402 status code) from Firebase storage / Google. — EDIT: seems to be fixed!

Fun project though! What are your plans with it? Like to hear about your ideas.

Some – unsolicited – suggestions (feel free to ignore):

- describing (primary) usage(s) – e.g. workstation, gaming, web dev, music, audio, etc.

- describing setup components by selecting items from a parts list

- adding benchmark results

- filtering / searching setups by varying properties

- breaking down components even further.. there's a huge community around mechanical keyboards for example, these come in all kinds of shapes.. users may have desires along the lines of: "I'd like to see setups with wireless 60% keyboards"

- listing similar setups ("if you like this, you might like..")

- capturing setup updates (and displaying VCS-style diffs :-))

- recently updated systems

- in the same vein: build logs

- image annotations

- up- / downvoting

- comments

Fun stuff to come up with.

NASA got a 1.6 billion USD increase. Around the same time it was announced that Wellington City (the third largest city in New Zealand, also the capital) had been given the equivalent of 4.5 billion USD for a revamped public transportation system. As far as public spending goes the two couldn't be more different. Yet it really did put into perspective the futility of NASA's situation, at least for me.

> In mobile, free-to-play model has solved most of the friction.

Not really, this model is pretty awful as it creates motivations for developers to make the game repetitive or overly difficult in order to convince people to pay for stuff. Just look at the recent mobile Lemmings game, they lock you out of the game with a timer, offering only temporary timer bypasses in the store. A few developers sell a simple "get out of bullshit and ads pass" which does solve it though.

Overall though in the mobile world this hasn't been an issue as the expectation of prices for paid games is far lower.

> Most games on Steam cost less than $50

AAA titles are still $60 and in recent years often include "season passes" and similar, doubling their costs.

> that's weeks if not many months of entertainment.

I get over 50 hours out of probably 1/20 games.

So overall, I'd say far from solved still. Origin has attempted a subscription model but it's expensive and offers only trials of recent releases and significantly older titles. Humble Bundle actually has a decent subscription service going on, but it's not on the sort of "all access" model you get with music or movies.

Perhaps streaming game services will change this, but I do worry that they're a move in the wrong direction in other ways.
Yup, and we are still violently blowing up a controlled bomb to exit the earths gravity.
None of the studies in that survey actually support the claim I questioned though, which is specifically about insulin response in humans. Further, they don't even support your claim that artificial sweeteners cause _more_ weight gain than equivalent sugar.

imo a big problem with these kinds of studies is the huge number of confounding factors. They tend to be studies that select participants who report drinking diet soda and those who report not drinking it, without taking into the account the fundamental lifestyle differences between the two. This is also why I'm interested in specific, measurable things that are known to cause problems, such as insulin response.

It is very common for overweight people to replace sugary soda with diet soda without making any other lifestyle changes. It is unsurprising that this doesn't yield positive results over the long-term. People who report drinking no soda, diet or otherwise, are likely already leading healthier lifestyles than those who report drinking diet soda regularly. Without controlling for these factors properly all that's really being said is that "healthier lifestyles are better for controlling weight".

I agree that diet soda is probably worse than no soda, but I haven't seen any evidence to support the idea that diet soda is worse than sugary soda when consumed in otherwise identical diets.
Again, another 'boogie monster' people like to use.

Without even getting into using an instant pot, a crockpot is a $20 appliance where the vast majority of recipes are put in chopped ingredients and seasoning, cook for 4-8 hours, serve over rice or pasta. Your average crock pot recipe has maybe 10 minutes of prep.

The biggest problem is knowledge. You have to know that a crock pot is even an option, you have to know that an investment in an appliance like an Instant Pot can save you countless hours over years.
I agree. Metric makes it much easier to compare things.
I didn't say that, but in order to prevent a "whatabout" or "false equivalence" attack, I will state up front: Conservatives are more likely to create, spread and fall for fake news than liberals.

https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/1/eaau4586

"Conservatives were more likely to share articles from fake news domains, which in 2016 were largely pro-Trump in orientation, than liberals or moderates"

We can speculate as to why. In my opinion, anti-intellectualism is far more virulent on the right than left. Nearly every single left-leaning politician is pro-science and accepts the scientific consensus on a broad range of issues. Conversely, most conservative politicians are anti-science, reject scientific consensus on a broad array of subjects, and consistently parrot mythology in its place. In fact it has become extremely common for conservatives to dislike and distrust higher education, academia, and research all together. It is a common trope in conservative media to attack scientific research as "pointless" and "expensive" and to use religious leaders to discuss intellectual or scientific topics.

Any ideology which preaches anti-intellectualism and mythology over science, evidence, etc, is necessarily more vulnerable to being co-opted in other evidenceless subjects.
These organizations succeed because these inefficiencies are not the result of incompetence, but the result of prioritizing other things that have a bigger impact on the bottom line.

Software is viewed as a cost center at a lot of companies, and in many cases that is the correct decision. The company officers and managers understand this, which is why they act the way they do.

Their goal is not to make the best possible software -- it is to ensure the software is good enough that it does not hold back other areas of the business, and to achieve that within the budget they are given.

> The nash equilibrium is actually for all players to defect.

Only in games where players know the number of rounds (e.g. a suicide bomber defects because they’ve decided to cap the number of rounds they’re going to play).

The same Wikipedia article describes that in studies where the number of rounds is unknown to players, superrational strategies are sustainable and that the “always defect” strategy becomes only one of several paths to Nash equilibrium.

During the Apollo era the NASA budget was about 10X what it is now as a percentage of the federal budget [0]. Given the budget is a fraction of what it was back then, compounded with the fact all of the people who lead during that era are now retired, the NASA request doesn't seem unreasonable.

If it's healthier and cheaper than a 21st century diet, why not?
Pointless posturing by Facebook to make it seems as if they’re actually doing anything worth while.
A bit of an exaggeration to argue the space industry is "unfunded", when the government spends double AMZN's net income on NASA every year even now. $1.6bn is one small step for government, one giant leap for the private sector.
So in addition to all your personal ( family/friends/etc ) information, it'll have your spending history as well? So the only thing it needs is your medical history, income/job and government information. Though I suppose facebook could get a decent sense of your medical and income/work history using your spending habits and location and personal information.

At this rate, I wouldn't be too shocked if facebook bought ancestry or other dna company to truly challenge Alphabet and Apple as the world's largest spy agency.

If information is power, aren't we giving too much of it to a handful of companies?
Recently, I’ve been hearing about Skimfeed, which aggregates 12-or-so articles from a bunch of news sources including HN.

The top link in Skimfeed's HN section is that post itself!
> 15 years ago there were people who said exactly the same thing about MPEG4-ASP (eg. divx/xvid). It all comes down to Moore's law and hardware acceleration.

There are always format fanboys but it really wasn't anything like that because the MPEG4-ASP experience still had problems for the average user (it wasn't a big win on file size/quality, compatibility was not a given, people still had to pay for licensed players, etc.).

In contrast, I think H.264 hit the threshold where it's good enough for the average person and you basically never hit the case where a file doesn't work for the person you shared it with because even though it's license-restricted, most operating systems and browsers include support. Moving away from that is going to be hard because most people will not see much advantage — AV1 is clearly better on file-size but most people aren't hitting limits on a regular basis and the feedback loops are often missing (e.g. you hit play in Netflix on your phone — how many people would have any way to tell how much of their data plan that used?).
Huawei isn't part of the Five Eyes (or the extensions of it), so any data they collect of Five Eye nations is a threat. Data Five Eye nations collect on each other or themselves isn't a threat because they're allies, often using each other to allow surveillance while loopholing some laws in their respective countries.

I don't like it either, just explaining the motivations at play here. Also you must expect any entity (company, individual, etc.) to obey their government, otherwise there's not much point in a government is there (not that the governments decisions are necessarily good ones)?
Can you tell me more? This is a bold claim, I'm curious what are you basing your apparent confidence on.
It started out as a contradiction because I thought the argument was that it's expensive. But I guess I should have read the article first. As usual it's more complicated.

Other factors are that it takes effort (it's work to some people after an already potentially long work day) and time (to shop, to cook and for everyone to be at home at the same time). And I suspect those are bigger barriers than just the financials.

Room temperature super conductors are in the category of materials that will cause semi-magical transformations in society along side generation techniques that make .001$/KwH electricity, 1$/kwh electricity storage, or >200 gigaPa tensile strength materials for cheap.
Previous generations have done lots better; what you're seeing is the end result of a few decades of the "starve the beast" project, working its way into governments from local to the federal level.

There's now one mainstream party that wants the government to run properly, serve the people, etc., and one mainstream party that runs explicitly under the slogan of "the government isn't the solution, the government is the problem," and claims that any use of government resources for a social benefit is "socialism."

Please don't buy into the idea that government, by its nature, is dysfunctional--please look at other countries around the world to see that it is possible to have a non-corrupt, beneficent government entity that improves life for its citizens.

That's just not what we have in the US.
