>"Best" case Epstein was operating independently for a time, blackmailing private businesspeople. "Worst" case he was operating on behalf of a foreign power (Saudi? Russia?). However, ultimately the US IC had to involve itself (see above) and it could be he was being run by several competing interests at once.

Key question, though, is why US intel and MI6 didn't get Clinton and Prince Andrew right the hell out of there.
I don’t think % of gdp is a very useful comparison because there’s not really a clear correlation between healthcare and gdp and there’s so many factors.

I like your data source and I looked at %health and Canada is 16% to the US’ 12%. That doesn’t mean that drugs from Canada will increase health care spending as there’s so many different factors at play.

The US might buy more drugs at lower costs keeping the ratios the same. Without a lot deeper analysis I don’t think it’s fair to say that the US requires more drugs than Canada.
Nobody is going to switch from Chrome to Firefox if the UI is radically different.

You could easily make the argument that no one is going to switch from Chrome if Firefox is very similar too because there'd be no good reason to.

Guessing what users will do is a waste of time. You have to do experiments and actually measure it.
The determinism doesn't solve the problem, it makes the non-locality more visible because some people think that state of two particles far away influencing one another is somehow worse than the wave function in whole universe changing it's value at once.

The superdeterminism "solves" the problem by claiming that there is no problem to begin with, and the results look non-local only because the experimenters always pick experiments that look non-local.

How can a local deterministic theory create such complex behavior as thinking people, and at the same time constrain it in a way that time taken to play mario level is correlated with a photon experiment a year later, is left for the reader as an exercise.
Which makes it a relatively silly measure.

On what pad are you going to land the rocket? You've got to at least level the ground and clear it of debris before a landing. That's gonna take some big construction equipment, even in 0.4G, likely not with a human anywhere near. Likely, you'll need to pour something akin to concrete for the pad, which is not an easy job for a suited up human without any real rad protection. Robots are going to be a major part of any Mars mission as Mars is not a great place to be outside and doing skilled labor.

Mining Monero Cryptocurrency on the Open-Source POWER9 Raptor Blackbird
You haven't contribute to a large project or figured out its culture yet, have you? In most major free and open source projects, the default rule is: the entire burdens of correcting any issues, including code-formatting, is the sole responsibility of the contributor, some big projects on GitHub even integrated automatic checking, few people would bother to review a patch if it doesn't fit the coding standard or fails to compile). And no, it's not only used an excuse for disliking one's patches. Even long-term contributors often resubmit some patches to fix their coding styles. If you are a high-profile developer of a subsystem/project, perhaps sometimes you can get a generous help for a free typo/style-correction by the upper level committer (especially when the patch has already went through the review and started moving up, at this point, even the maintainers agree it's pointless to send the patch back), but in general, there's no such a thing.

> instead of just regulating drug prices domestically

Perhaps the hope is that US prices will fall, shortages in Canada might cause prices to go up a bit there, but in the end the open market will equalize with lower prices overall.
As a Canadian, I will press my representatives as hard as possible to prevent this from happening. It can only impact our healthcare system negatively -- no thanks.
That's the beauty of mixed zoning. They can now build grocery stores, nightlife, dining, etc next to the high density housing. One Paseo is an example development in Carmel Valley that does this. Hillcrest has these developments as well.
It's not just about dying. It's about living. I have had minimal to no access to quality medical care in America since I went through this. I have had to choose NOT to seek care for things I needed to because I cannot pay for it. I have been denied many things a reasonable person would expect to receive. There is only one reason people defend this system...ego. They cannot accept that American Capitalism isn't the best thing ever. Their pride matters more than other people. It's shameful.
Of course Pizzagate was fiction. That's not the point the original comment was making. The comment simply stated that unrelated events such as Epstein were being unnecessarily lumped in with the "pizzagate" craziness in recent years (caused both by feverish conspiracy theorists, and a reflexive dismissal by the media) and due to that the broader topic of 'pedophilia among elites' was ignored up until now.
It could be the case if you’re not near a major airport and have to deal with a monopolist.

You cannot just sleep outside in general by law in most of the EU. Loitering is a thing. Not to mention weather is often not exactly accommodating, so you would need gear to do that, and while not especially expensive, it is not free either, nor that comfortable.

Personally for me - the problematic part of gaming on Linux has been input(i.e mouse) latency and acceleration profile.

I am not sure if this is just my experience but when using libinput on Fedora for example - the cursor movement is not exactly precise. This is not obvious when working but while gaming this is a deal breaker.

Apple Joins Data Transfer Project
It also creates a filter for investment in the patch. If the submitter doesn’t bother to do a second round for trivial revisions, it would have been a waste of time for the maintainer to read the patch deeply.
The milestone method is very common in the trades, where a lot of builders, etc. are self-employed.

Scams are still a threat in that field though. I was on a job where the client devised ways to hold up suppliers so we'd miss our deadlines and he'd get a discount. I did a 22-hour shift and my boss pulled a few all-nighters to get done on time.
Obviously it doesn’t work now, since it’s not legal to import drugs like this. Why would we have a functioning system for an illegal activity.

I think it’s important for me to always mention how such a system would be implemented u set new laws. Or why I think the proposed law doesn’t address this need.

If I just say that it’s not currently done, it doesn’t help the conversation much because it’s not a useful fact. Also there’s no drugs exported to Mars and many other not relevant without additional info facts.

A new law will need to provide for this capability. All the laws I’ve seen addressed drug safety in one way or another. But curiously I hear the complaint about safety brought up without the compensating strategies also brought up.

> That's the theory yes, but I was asking about real life. Did those early microkernel systems actually deliver?

According to Wikipedia “[MINIX] can also withstand driver crashes. In many cases it can automatically restart drivers without affecting running processes. In this way, MINIX is self-healing and can be used in applications demanding high reliability”.

While this kernel was originally written to teach kernel design, all Intel chipsets post-2015 are running MINIX 3 internally as the software component of the Intel Management Engine.

Another widely deployed microkernel is L4, I assume this has similar capabilities, as it also puts most things in user space and is used for mission critical stuff.

> Also, for anything stateful, like a filesystem, simply relaunching it may not be sufficient.

True, but simply rebooting when the kernel process crashes due to buggy driver code won’t be sufficient either :)

FYI when Apple introduced extended attributes their AFP (network file system) did have a bug that made the kernel (and thus entire machine) crash for certain edge cases involving extended attributes.

In that case, had their AFP file system been a user space process, I may still have lost data, but it would have saved me from dozens of reboots.
There is a semi-follow up article from the same source that says tooling was not lost.

>Moreover, the Air Force is auditing the Sierra Army Depot to make sure that the F-22 manufacturing tooling is secure—and thus far everything is in order. The audit is 85 percent complete and thus far all of the tooling has been found. Earlier, some Air Force officials had expressed concerns that the equipment had been misplaced—however, those concerns were unfounded as it turns out.[1]

You need to justify that "So". Showing all the info you have is often less clear than showing the most important parts. Showing the info you have in an unsorted blob is often less clear than having separate fields/fonts.

(Read "less clear" as a synonym for "misleading".)

Imagine if the URL bar showed the full set of HTTP headers instead. That's more information, and it's more accurate and less mangled than showing just the URL. But it's a much worse interface and harder to use securely.

> The decision to adapt GraphQL instead of supporting Cypher, what would you say were the big trade offs?

Cypher was built around SQL, with the idea that people are used to SQL. Therefore, by having something similar, people would find it easier to adapt. Many years later, I'd say it still hasn't gained as much popularity beyond Neo4j as sometimes projected.

We bet upon GraphQL in 2015, because it was easy to understand, worked with JSON and resulted in sub-graphs. While Cypher and Gremlin return lists of things. One can go from subgraph to lists, but not the other way around, because relationships are lost.

Within 3 years of draft spec, GraphQL has taken the developer world by storm. Developers find it easy to wrap their heads around and enjoy working with it. In fact, GraphQL+- (our language) has become one of the USPs of Dgraph.

> Would you say more that you can get Mongo and Redis (+redisgraph) users to switch to Dgraph, or instead more that the main customers for graph databases are still in school right now and deciding what tech skills will underpin their careers?

We have heard from many user who would have used MongoDB or SQL if not for Dgraph. With Mongo, you get scalability, but at the cost of query complexity and transactionality (/correctness). Keys and Docs are nice, but they don't let you use relationships to interact with a wider dataset. With Dgraph, you get scalability, while also gaining a much richer and sophisticated querying ability, transactionality (distributed txns), correctness without losing query performance. My blog post says more about this.

Redis is a cache, so people are not directly comparing it against Dgraph, a persistence-first database. One could use Redis to perhaps store Dgraph results.

See this NPR interview with a healthcare expert from the Kaiser Foundation:

GARCIA-NAVARRO: I mean, why do people get hundreds of thousands of dollars in bills for staying in a hospital?

ROSENTHAL: Well, the first thing I tell people when they ask me this question is to go into your local hospital and look around. And the marble lobbies, the art, the concierges at the front desk - our hospitals look like not five-star hotels - seven-star hotels. I mean, I think the most stark thing when people go overseas is hospitals in Europe, which deliver really high-quality care. They look like junior high schools. You know, they're not fancy, but the care is good.

What it's like to be a Freemason
Sure it can be designed, but to achieve that at a useful range takes a large, sensitive antenna panel with a very high power output. So it's going to be expensive and difficult to transport. Filtering based on speed is challenging because different techniques are needed depending on the target's relative course. Plus with the sensitively dialed up so high they're going to get a lot of random false positives. It's impossible to automatically filter out some random returns.
That definitely isn’t true in China, or even in Japan. Mac has a pretty good market penetration rate for the design field in Asia at least.

>If you have no money, and no savings, you probably have nearly no stuff too.

I wouldn't bet on that. I know plenty of people who have lots of stuff, high credit card debt, and very little or no savings. It doesn't make sense to save money for retirement when you have any unpaid credit card debt because you'll be losing money, rather than saving it.

Basic economics is not popular on this site. Unfortunately.
I agree with the distinctions you make and that we shouldn't conflate journalism with opinion pieces. I also agree that there are huge differences in journalistic quality. But anyone who considers themselves a journalist and is operating in good faith is trying to determine and shed light on the truth, and they will all bring their own subjective beliefs to bear on this effort.

My point is that just alleging the presence of bias to call a piece 'not journalism' is wrong because all journalism is biased in some way. It's a dishonest tactic that boils down to an appeal to authority.
It doesn't have a thing to do with Trump being unhappy, it is the Pentagon that is hopping mad. It will give the Russians access to S400 telemetry of F22 and F35 planes, something we've been very coy in giving them a chance to get. It lets them figure out how to use their radars against any nation with F22 / F35 planes.

Uniqueness in Logic Puzzles [pdf]
Market-oriented people have long noted that the US medical consumer is funding cheaper drugs for the entire world.

If we wanted a system that's more equitable, we could create a law that sets the maximum price for medicine in the US at some multiple of what's charged abroad.

For example: we could say that it's illegal to charge a US person more than 2x what you charge for the drug anywhere else in the world.

This would do two things: it would bring down the cost for US consumers, and it would increase the cost for consumers abroad -- effectively reducing the free-rider effect we currently see in Europe.

What Makes Functional and Object-Oriented Programming Equal
I've started doing this as a hobby wherever I live after spending some time in the Bay Area and becoming obsessed with how cool huge redwoods are.

Growing saplings is slow and sometimes difficult, but one of the coolest things I've ever done was taking saplings I grew and then heading out into a reserve with scientists to plant them.

I feel like a huge understated challenge to these efforts is finding land that's protected / optimal for planting that will knowingly not be plowed or cleared within 60 years. Otherwise, it doesn't really matter how many trees you plant if they're all uprooted or killed before they even reach 6' in height...
Even ignoring conspiracies there's many, many people in our government who have people killed as a legitimate and legal part of their job.

If you include legitimate killings by military personnel, there's a LOT of killers walking the streets. It's a very standard part of life that's hard for most people to really grasp.

Once you consider that there are literally thousands upon thousands of legitimate, legal killers in the country, and a smaller set of people with the power to order those killers to do killing, it really doesn't make sense to assume that all the killing is above board.

All in all, a cowardly "solution" that will likely result in all sorts of unintended consequences.

>One of the biggest selling point for German cars is that they are more efficient than the Americans this event has broken that public perception and until they fix it they will struggle to compete with cheaper American cars.

That only holds for cheaper economy cars, of which japan currently has the consumer perception edge with. The German car industry's edge is with conspicuous consumption type cars, such as luxury and GT cruisers; and the customer base for those types of cars doesn't car about efficiency as much as prestige and sportiness. I'd go as far to say the customer base for the M3 or equivalent sport cars is the type to actively subvert the emissions equipment with an ECU flash or test pipe swap for the performance boost.

I don’t think what you’re saying is wrong, but all of these people live in the real world where accidents/sudden illness/etc do happen every day, so it would be nice to have some evidence beyond “this guy benefitted from this other guy dying.” I’m not a lawyer or anything, but even the legal system isn’t really supposed to look at motivation as evidence in a case, though I’m sure it sways juries.
