Highly recommend the novel which provides the basis for this movie „Traumnovelle“ by Arthur Schnitzler (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumnovelle). The novel seems to be heavily influenced by Freudian psycho analysis, I also think the location of Vienna at the beginning of the 20th century is very interesting.

>pre-revolution Americans paid far far less in tax.

If you are estimating the invasiveness of government in taxes, you are wrong.

We are talking about regulations. Back in the days, much of the big biz couldn't simply exist without a patronizing king and monopoly rights.

Since you are talking about the US colony, let's take a look at the East India Company as an example.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_India_Company

It was allowed by the Queen, since none busyness could be started without it. It was frequently intervened by the crown, despite the crown had no share.

Back in the days the king had almost ultimate rule over any busyness, and could establish monopolies like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_copyright_law#Early...

>Early copyright privileges were called "monopolies," particularly during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, who frequently gave grants of monopolies in articles of common use, such as salt, leather, coal, soap, cards, beer, and wine. The practice was continued until the Statute of Monopolies was enacted in 1623, ending most monopolies, with certain exceptions, such as patents; after 1623, grants of Letters patent to publishers became common.

Ah but there is a reason for my watch to have the same seconds value as yours, and that is if our watches are kept synchronized to an accurate time source, for ex. via NTP. By assuming otherwise you're sidestepping the problem by claiming you already have a reliable RNG.

Heck, even granted you have an unsynchronized watch, your "random" numbers are easy to predict, I'll ask you for a random number once per second and after a few answers I don't need to ask any more to know your answer.
Banks borrow short and lend long, which is why they are inherently unstable, requiring either implicit/explicit government guarantees, or be subject to "runs" on deposits.

In the unlikely environment of no demand for loans, banks would have no incentive to take deposits (ie borrow short), so instead would probably charge fees for reducing the risk of holding large amounts of cash for their account holders.

Such a storage facility would not have the profit margins of taking on the risk of lending, I'd guess that the net effect of a "fully saturated and content" economy would be "churn" as money was moved from account to account. Given that there would be no growth in such an economy, there would also be no wealth creation. So over time, the value of the money would deflate.

If the Gini coefficient went to zero (ie equal wealth distribution), the need for money would effectively disappear. So would banks.
We've made our lives around a "kids first" policy since they were born. We run our own business (together) and consistently and deliberately put this second to our children. We know it's going to hurt in a financial sense later - we are very much living for now, knowing that the eldest who is 14 may be leaving home in 4 years and the youngest who is 12 will be off in 6.

We're in a fortunate situation, in that the work we do is profitable and relatively low stress, but we also make decisions frequently that keep our work in balance. For instance, we could grow and take on employees, but have chosen not to; we consistently say no to new work even if it's hugely profitable if we know it is going to impact on holiday or family time - or our sanity!

Kids seem to me to be the single, unequivocally most important thing in the world. Creating them and nurturing them is after all what evolution is solely interested in. Making a new generation who is loved, balanced, ready to step out into the world on their own - this is, and will always be, more important to me than work.

The subtext - and it's a really important one - in the article, is about the empowerment of women. This is horribly unbalanced; for biological, social, whatever reasons. This is broken, and women get a terrible deal: this needs addressing.

But at the heart is just being with your kids and loving them, and for me that means putting work second.

I should also just add: actually, we put us as a couple high up in importance too. Too many people forget this when raising children: you need time to be you and to be a couple, and it's easy to forget this after years of nurturing kids!
>Because as soon as the competition would start digging the incumbent simply lowers prices.

So the monopoly would have to keep the prices low all the time, since the competitors would appear all the time is the demand exist.

It's not what monopolies do. Did Walmart lower the prices when Amazon appeared? Why to be a monopoly and not use this state of affairs to squeeze the profits?

Not a great one, but perhaps one useful to aspiring mathematicians! My friend, who is now an assistant prof at a major research university, said he could only do ~4 hrs of hard mathematical thinking per day. His colleagues and undergrad advisors all experienced the "four hour threshold." However, he said that Terence Tao was able to stay switched on for most of his waking hours, and that he'd structured his life - with nannies and a house close to UCLA - to take advantage of that. I guess the moral of the story is that normal mathematicians can be productive and quite happy with just a few hours of work per day, but that generation defining mathematicians have to put in longer hours :-)
Haha wow!

Ok so I thought of the same. Let me think of a number before clicking.

Then I thought let me try something fancier, I know I would go around 6-8 so let’s switch it up. Let’s put the scale like 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 in my mind. Ok now let’s pick from a weird place, like the first half, say the middle of it. What’s that number. Oh it’s 7. I arrived to the same number while trying not to. Different kind of “randomness” I guess.

Humans are weird! :p
From reading the article, the bans handed out by the Foundation appear to have been permanent and targeted at less high-profile members of the community. It also suggests that the bans were targeted at obviously illegal activities, e.g. child pornography. I'm not sure how verifiable what the bans were for is, but it seems to be the widely held view.

This is an intervention that realistically should have been dealt with by the community. If he had posted "Fuck Wikimedia" as well, there could have been another perceived conflict of interest. Sooner or later you run out of conflicted groups of people and what happens then?

Yeah, but that also comes through as demeaning for the ArbCo; it assumes that once insulted, the members are unable to remain adults and exercise restraint.

That's a tautology. The film involved a secret society with sexual elements, so they lifted the recognisable aesthetics of some secret societies, particularly ones which involved, or purported to involve, naked ladies. There's no philosophy in there, and the costumes and rituals were a lightweight confection from a bunch of different sources. It's not like he was going to have them dress up in giant rabbit outfits and play kazoos.

Unless your point is that he features a monied sex cult so he's saying that they're somehow endemic. That seems rather a stretch.
Facebook’s Yarn vs. NPM – Is Yarn Better?
I would ditch the TVs, re-wear lightly soiled clothes instead of using the washing machine / tumble dryer so often, more line drying in the summer, be vigilant about switching off unused lights, unplug unused appliances overnight, cook with the electric hob and microwave less, eat more fresh and uncooked food, buy a more efficient fridge and freezer, use the computers less, get rid of the electric shower, spend more time out with others rather than indoors.

That’s just in the home.

All would involve sacrifices, but doable ones without having to live in Mad Max.

The situation didn't change with this another version of Firefox for Android (and I have all of them):

1) A webpage with many and mostly made out of grid and flex elements does tender waaaaay too slowly and ugly (low quality artifacts on scrolling)

2) Animations like of the mere max-height to unhide content perform like garbage, as if it was performed by the CPU alone

And I already did report this behaviour even with this version, let's see how it will turn out.

Out of this experience, expecting mobile web apps to perform well enough is meaningless, lag and rendering artifacts will fill your patience meanwhile on Chrome like browsers everything is waaaay smoother.

Getting an 80286 or 80386 out of 8086/8088 mode to address more memory required access to the A20 address line. Which IBM added to the keyboard controller on the motherboard. Which lead to the A20 hacks necessary to access memory above 1MB (let alone the hacks already in place to access over 640K). Note that this hack has required CPU support up to Intel Haswell which is only 5-6 years ago.

The French High Council for Climate published its first report last week. It says that if everyone were doing "heroic" efforts: ditching cars for public transport and biking, never ever flying, going vegetarian, heat less their homes (and no A/C), then emissions would go down only 25 to 40% at most; this is significant, but they must drop much more than that.

Therefore strong, decisive political action is mandatory. Individual actions, personal incentives can't be enough: we need an effort similar to what Great-Britain did when it entered "war economy".
That is true. However, XBand signed a deal with Sega to build their modem into the Sega Channel adapter, enabling multiplayer gaming.

I believe the multiplayer adapter was piloted in a few select regions, but I cannot say for certain.

Anyway, I did have a friend with Sega Channel growing up. It was revolutionary. I would see nothing like it again until well over a decade later.

If your concern is privacy, I've developed this project which routes everything through Tor except for the video file:

There is also this project which is similar but much better, more polished, and with more features than what I have currently, but I haven't tried it to see if it supports a similar kind of selective proxying:
https://github.com/omarroth/invidious

Then there's Freetube, which supports proxying but I'm not sure of the details either. It doesn't scrape Youtube itself as far as I know; instead it consults with the main Invidous instance at invidio.us which provides an api:

>How hard it is to make the trashcan bigger and put in more airflow? (Bigger fans with the same RPM.)

My guess is that because they tried to manufacture and assemble in US, so they had very high automation for the TrashCan, which also meant these automation are likely not flexible enough to change the design. I don't think the Mac Pro was about cost though. Because Mac Pro unit shipment would not have made up for that investment anyway. I think it was merely an exercise for Apple's operational supply chain. And Apple's design team had lack of time and had to focus on many other more important issues. That was why it took so long. Basically the design department in Apple were not scaleable.

> United States has 50 percent fewer practicing physicians per capita than Sweden or Germany. Unsurprisingly, US doctors also work fewer hours while earning much higher salaries.

There's no citation, but I actually find the part about the hours to be extremely surprising if there are half as many of them doing the same work. Do Germans consume less than half as much medical care? US doctors don't work particularly short hours (even after residency), so it's very surprising if Germans work more considering they usually get much more vacation.

> the AMA has been fixing the supply of doctors

As far as I am aware, the supply of doctors in the US is determined by the number of Medicare-funded residency slots, which is set by Congress.

> No one will argue that we should give up on her.
> What kind of sick society would give up on them?

No one would argue that for your specific examples, but with things like end stage cancer it can be more tricky. Part of the problem is that it is too often framed around "giving up" when it comes to aggressive interventions that are unlikely to help. But doctors who see the system from the inside would generally not choose that path for themselves, for reasons totally unrelated to cost. Too aggressive interventions usually don't make people live longer (they often die sooner!) and can really degrade any remaining quality of life. Atul Gawande wrote a book about it [1] (interestingly, he's also one of the authors of the paper you cited).

Excessive testing probably isn't purely a defensive medicine thing. I don't have a citation, but apparently when the medical group ordering the tests has a financial interest in the testing center, hugely more testing is done. And of course when the guidelines are unclear it's easier to default to just ordering things, it doesn't cost the doctor anything. There's another article (again by Atul) that touches on it [2].

It's interesting, if you talk to doctors (in a non-professional setting) they'll generally tell you their profession is getting worse. That they're more and more overworked with no change in pay. And if you look at the statistics, physician pay hasn't gone anywhere while health care costs have skyrocketed. [3]

32C (90F) doesn't necessarily need AC yet though? At least if the nights are clearly cooler, so that the windows can be shaded at daytime and opened at night. In an old stone house this can work still at over 40C (104F), depending a lot on the general shading etc of course.
It's more like I believe that the internet is becoming too much a cyberutopia in the sense of Thomas More. He stated that women had to be spanked to make it work. Turns out that men also have to be nudged into the right direction. If you look at facebook, google and apple, what else are they doing but creating an utopia for everybody? It's just not the men but the algorithms who do the spanking.

That said, it all comes down to discipline. There are people who don't need the nudging, who can follow protocols by their own choice. The internet allows them to find each other. That won't transform the world, but the internet will allow them to live their own utopia without bothering everybody else.
