A vfib patient is already dead, or on their way there. The heart has lost all rhythm, isn't effectively circulating blood (though it's expending energy like mad), and in a few minutes, further classifications of clinical death (brain death, organ death, cell death) will inevitably follow.

What a defibrillator does is stop an invariably fatal loss or order, and allow the heart's normal rhythm to be reasserted. That may happen spontaneously or via further artificial stimulation.

Vfib itself is described as "an electrical disorder of the heart", which is what distinguishes itself from other forms of cardiac insult, most especially a coronary infarction, which is a physical blockage of blood supply, generally from accumulated plaque, blood clots, or both.

The analogoue to financial systems is at best imprecise, but what a financial stimulus shock such as the apocryphal "helicoptor drops" does is to provide free cash (spending credits) to a large fraction of the population in a case where spending has dried up. The idea being that the availability of money will get economic activity flowing again. In a case where normal activity has stopped, it's at least a fair analogy -- a one-time widespread cash shock which may start flows moving again.

The key point being that complex interactive systems operate on an ordered dynamic state. The heart needs to contract and relax, with a regular rhythm. The economy needs payments, receipts, and wages, exchanged on a regular basis. Stopping, blocking, or disrupting the regular flows is what's fatal.

Defibrillation isn't killing the patient. It's restoring regularity.

Speaking of the 21st Century...

Can you name any Christian denomination in the 21st Century who publicly and proudly connect the fish and loaves parable with the ethics of file sharing?

I'm most interested in an interpretation that takes the literalist stance that Jesus started with a bounded amount and copied it for zero marginal cost. (And we know copying happened because more crusts came back than went out.)
Not trying to call you out, but would you mind sharing? That coincides generally with what I've read.
This is an interesting interpretation of polygamy. The usual interpretation is along the lines of "to the rich go the spoils".

But sex imbalances would have occurred throughout history and, questions of morality aside, polygamy seems like a reasonable solution, at least if women outnumber men.

I wonder if anyone has tried to investigate a possible correlation between polygamy and imbalanced sex ratios throughout history.

Ownership of a multinational conglomarate corporation whose practices effect the lives of billions requires either governance or real stewardship. Google is driven by one thing making profit. There stewardship is morally defunct. their profits are driven by the sale of the never ending stream of consumer information they glean from the electronic fields where they harvest. That info is all encompassing some you or I would consider private some nonsense. others might percieve that very same data differantly. All of it can be used to map and monitise people, placea, ideas and things. All of it used to know you. To not deamand or hold google accountable for their caveat emptor and lasie fair monopoly is foolish. to allow them or their users a free hand is naive. Ideas are more powerful then weapons. Greed a larger motivator then morals. Google launched in the U.S. has taken those profits and used them to court profits in countrys where their motivations are not the U.S.s motivations but googles remains the same. Harvest information and sale it. Dont ask what the info is used for.

The paper made many good points but I found the power density argument by far the weakest. Yes a fusion reactor will necessarily weight more than a fission reactor of the same output and if we assume a constant price per pound across fission and fusion reactors this means it will be more expensive. But the reactor itself is only a small fraction of the weight of a fission plant. And of course we have every reason to think that the cost per pound of reactors across different reactor types will be entirely different.

I see this argument a lot in discussions around rockets where some people assume that if one rocket weighs less than another per pound delivered to space it must necessarily be cheaper when in fact the effort required to make it lighter almost always means it's more expensive. I think the rise of SpaceX has finally put an end to that argument, at least.

Internet and facial recognition made the world a lot smaller and the past a lot harder to erase. And unsurprisingly the fact that you put something in your social media timeline only has value until something casts suspicion over it.

You don't need a trial to decide that the guy who claims this and that is the same guy from an older article being arrested for faking this and that. The suspicion alone is enough to kill the con.

Polygamy encourages the objectification of women. Marriage ceases to be a union of equals in which there is a total self-giving of spouses to one another. While we has become dull to and ignorant of an understanding of the essence and purpose of marriage (years before the last two decades, I might add), it is a union which is unitive and procreative in principle. The unitive and the procreative are not separable. The unitive is ordered toward the good of the family (and, of course, by extension society).

While monogamous marriages can be defective in practice, they are not so in principle. Polygamous marriages, on the other hand, impose these defects in principle.

There may be a similarity here with hookup culture, that is, a polygamous culture seems to likewise, though perhaps to a lesser degree, encourage men to view women as mere instruments of sexual gratification. Harvey Weinstein is in essence not some exception, but the poster child for our age.

Far from denigrating women as has been falsely claimed by some, the Christian (specifically Catholic) defense of insoluble, monogamous marriages was one of many ways in which woman was saved from the disordered predations common in human societies throughout history.

Even if the point of power density is conceded, the work necessary for economic analysis has not been done anywhere I have looked. If you would focus on my points, and not try to project some psychological model on someone you’re having a conversation with (a proper dick move, you won’t make friends that way), then you wouldn’t be pointing at papers talking about power density.

Where is the cost analysis that prices future fusion plants out of reasonability? Where is the cost analysis that takes the hidden cost of CO2 emission into account? What is the societal value of producing an on demand energy source that lasts millions of years, rather than hundreds? The burden is not on me to find these answers, because I did not make cavalier statements that will be discussed 40 years later. Unchecked publications are why I became heated, not the content.
"It's almost impossible to stop competitors in ride-sharing because the cost of switching for customers is low, there are no legal or capital ex competitive barriers, and you can be picked apart city by city."

This is so true. I only ever take rideshare to/from airports, and those trips are sufficiently expensive that it makes sense for me to spend the extra minute to launch the four different ridesharing apps I have installed and comparison-shop the cheapest one. It's a no-brainer to spend a minute to potentially save $40 or more, depending on surge conditions.

And four might be a little extreme, but I hardly know anyone who uses rideshare at all who doesn't at least have both Lyft and Uber installed. And even two players in a competitive market can drastically fight prices to the bottom. Ridesharing is not a duopoly situation.

I assume there are some limits on number of uploaded contacts (probably on order of thousands) but they can be bypassed by creating thousands of accounts each with different contact list. One SIM card here in Russia costs as low as several dollars, and probably cheaper if bought wholesale, so it is not very expensive.

Also, here is a quote from an article in Russian [1], where it is claimed that there is a software to de-anonymize Telegram users:

> A phone number used by [Telegram] account @silovikicat was discovered using a program titled "Insider-Telegram" developed by the "Center of research of legitimacy and political protest". The head of the "Center" Eugene Venediktov explains: "Currently the database contains over 10 million of numbers. We just go through all possible numbers and check whether they are registered in Telegram: for example, we take all numbers starting with a prefix +7911 and check them. You automatically see all contacts from you address book in your Telegram, don't you? We just have a very "fat" address book with phones of all users from our country."

> When a phone number provided by Eugene is added into an address book, Telegram automatically matches it with account @silovikicat («Siloviks' cat»).

The loaves and fishes miracle started with the materials being freely given, which is not really the case in scenarios where file sharing is ethically dicey. Really not a solid comparison, I would say.
What defines the volume to get to that number? From what I can tell from the ARC specs the plasma volume is 141 m3, and the expected power output is 200-300 MWe, which makes it 1.5-2 MWe/m3.

Do you have some numbers on a PWR reactor vessel? I was trying to look up some details on the APR-1400, but could not find any.
Yeah... there is currently a global issue with lab results. A client of mine (large multinational healthcare products manufacturer) recently sent the same part to five different labs owned by the same very large lab test provider, around the globe, and got radically different results. The Chinese ones passed everything, as did the US ones - the EU ones failed the part on RoHS, as did their own tests on it - BPA over the allowed threshold.

So, yeah. Everything with a big pinch of salt.

Exactly, but for those that do pursue such activities, that would be the prudent approach. Though I wouldn't count it as a pension plan as some may well do :/. Though if you ever do get a pension annuity plan, apparently smoking whilst you fill out the form and filling in that aspect, does get you more money and one of those area's that could be classed as gaming the system. Why that is - well, they expect you to die sooner, hence you get a better rate compared to somebody who their actuaries expect to live say 20 years longer and curtail paying out more over a longer period. Also one of those exceptions in which bad health, or perceived bad health works in your favour.
It’s not a perfect solution, but a less granular (avoiding the pun) return value could make the API less useful for fingerprinting but still useful for responsive design layout.
You’re inserting things into the question that weren’t there and tearing it down. Nothing was said about a “routine performance” which is certainly common enough today to that it is worth asking but is not always the case and not always common through time.

Regardless, it is never a bad thing to be overly cautious and redundant. I once heard it said that if necessity is the mother of invention, redundancy is the mother of victory. That is how I view the question.

A white-flight situation is one thing, even if one advocates for busing as I do, there are practical limitations. But there's absolutely no excuse for micro catchment areas within a single municipal jurisdiction. That's just blatant pandering.

(Sorry to have gone off on a school segregation tangent in an uber thread ...)
Fission reactor cores and reactor vessels are made of fuel and steel. They are very simple compared to fusion reactors. Fission reactors can therefore be expected to be much cheaper than fusion reactors, even on a per-pound or per-volume basis. They can also be expected to be much more reliable.

(A fission reactor vessel will also last the lifetime of the power plant. A DT fusion reactor, not so much.)

(The average density of ITER is about the same as the average density of an unfueled PWR reactor vessel, btw.)

The analogy with rockets would be for those advocating air-breathing launchers. Make the launcher much more complex, just so one can save on LOX. Make the reactor much more complex, just so one can not pay for uranium. But LOX is cheap, and fuel is not a major cost driver for fission power.

>Quite appropriately so since we are all slaves to sin

This to me is terrifying and revolting to read. How can anybody believe this sort of nonsense, and worse: harmful nonsense at that. We are all slaves to some mythological original sin, we cannot improve ourselves, we are doomed, we need a magical force from above to descend and save us all... Completely contrary to my personal ethics, completely contrary to the mindset necessary for progress (nobody is going to save us; there is nobody else, only us; we need to roll up our sleeves and improve our shitty world, because if we don't do it then nobody will, etc).

But then again, that's only my opinion. The difference being I upvoted you for sharing your point of view, while the other guy seems to have been flagged to silence...

So first, you should read their books for concrete code. Martin books, for example "refactoring" or "Enterprise architecture" actually have good code examples.

The same apply for kent beck early work on smalltalk (you can look at Junit) or his early work on the HotDraw editor (which was the source of many of the pattern in the Design Pattern book). Kent was one of the first adopter of smalltalk at the early 80 is techtronix, together with ward cunnighum (the inventor of wiki) and rebbeca swift brooks.

Robert Martin work is mainly driven by his consulting practice and tend to change based on the on going trend. At the 2000's he was working with Grady Booch, preaching UML and design before coding. Later he dropped that in favour of agile and TDD.

You do not see case studies since the industry simply does not really care. It is very trend prone.

Most of the adopted advances were actually "hacks". For example C++ was invented out of necessity to create "C with objects" by a single person in AT&T labs. Unix was hacked in 3 weeks. Java was invented to program toasters, etc.

Any attempt to develop tools and technique based on real research saw not adaptation - for example Ada at the 80s, UML at the 90's and early 2000, functional programming, TLA+ , etc.
Sure but churn is a poor stat to look at. Shopify could minimize churn by only taking on big pre-established brands. But that probably wouldn’t be best for the company. So high churn it is, which hasn’t hurt them yet.
I'm the original author of this post. I'd say that it's very unlikely that TypeScript will supplant JavaScript. To quote Crockford in 2008:

"Because JavaScript is the language of the web browser, and because the web browser has become the dominant application delivery system, and because JavaScript isn't too bad, JavaScript has become the World's Most Popular Programming Language. Its popularity is growing. It is now being embedded in other applications and contexts. JavaScript has become important. It is better to be lucky than smart."

TypeScript is a very smart language, but then, so are Dart, CoffeeScript, ClojureScript. I suspect that if code durability is what matters to you, JS (and the ES evolutions thereof) will have the real staying power. Plus, not everyone is sold on the value of static types, but everyone is sold on the value of JavaScript.
Not only are you overlooking the massive size and weight of these batteries which would make it infeasible to build a battery swapping station in a smaller footprint than the space required for charging stalls but you have not addressed what to do about the cooling of the batteries. The Model 3 has coolant lines going through the battery itself so each battery swap would also require dumping and refilling fluid.

Nonsense.
Hey, no cheating -- one that has a substantial baggage of applications on top of it. A research kernel is something you can do in one year working with a few dedicated undergrads. But then so is pretty much every single thing running on top of it. It looks easy until you figure out how much work gets into properly writing a PNG decoder or a PDF viewer. It's not fun, even in a memory-safe language.

I admire your optimism and I, too, wish we'd leave this POSIX hellhole behind us (and I'm fond of this POSIX hellhole!) but I think at this stage in the story of computers, it's no longer realistic.
