Most of the ideas of the service mesh came from Netflix. You should watch the orignal netflix lectures.

You are confusing the enterprise service bus architecture and micro service architecture.

Async architecture is not always the right answer. If you need it, than the recommended architecture is to use a center event log (i.e. kafka) and feed all the services from it.
In terms of The World; Human is granular enough. After all, Romans usurped many of its citizens from many parts of the World thru the Military avenue - https://www.romae-vitam.com/roman-citizenship.html

I suspect that the author or his source has to fund or justify such expenseve ventures. Big grabbing bold statements that reach, help. Given the aqueduct's in design and name was of Roman origins. The longest Roman one found would qualify as the World's longest, so sure.

However, aqueducts have existed by other names, and it is that basis I question the claim. But equally see how such a claim could be made. More a technicalities thing than any other divide, would be my take upon this.
>> One of the main causes of the problems in our current system is the atrocious voter turnout rate.

Have you considered why this is, rather than just thinking our population are a bunch of idiots who don't like to vote? Consider the incentives (or lack thereof) that make people do this.
It's better to think of the long-term cycle. Ruminants in regenerative management, for instance, increase the richness of the soil over time. Whereas it's very hard to do that with crops.

I'm with you, except for the last paragraph. There, I'm more ambivalent.

Yes, I kind of agree with you on your general point. But if we don't know what the government is doing, and we aren't going to be told, how are we supposed to hold them accountable? In general, you're right, but there does come a point at which a whistleblower is in fact necessary. Whether this one reached that point is a separate question.
Isn't this why the costs are so outrageous? The guaranteed insurance coverage means hospitals know they can charge whatever they want. This is why I'm not psyched about single payer healthcare solutions: It's not solving the problem, and may just mean huge government waste.

It'd be far more effective to aggressively regulate hospital billing, wouldn't it?
I also don't think it's unreasonable to question if the net magnitude and effects of human induced climate change have been (or even can be at this point) modeled well enough to make accurate predictions.

It's certainly not a consensus as far as I'm concerned although I think most reasonable people agree it's likely we are altering the climate.
Not all homes appreciate over inflation. In fact, I would assume that on a long enough time horizon, everything matches inflation.

For context, sound travels about 3.4 metres (11 feet) in 10 milliseconds. Of course, this is added to the time taken for the sound to reach the microphone.

Our brains apparently correct for this sort of lag without us noticing, but maybe (I have no idea) this correction is calibrated to perceived distance.

My wild ass guess is that, even in Sweden, a 16 year old very publicly having sexual relations with many adults in obvious furtherance of the goals of the adults would be decried by a lot of people as sex trafficking.

I'm well aware there are very real problems with acting like 18 is some hard and fast cut-off between genuinely consenting sex and some kind of abuse based on inability to make such a decision. But this is not the equivalent of a 16 year old girl having a 20 year old boyfriend. There isn't just one single adult involved in this scenario with this 16 year old.

$$$$$$.

The Medical system is being used to transfer wealth from the working and middle classes to the capital class under the guise of "free market". That money is being used to shape legislation, buy politicians, influence elections and kill threats to the system, allowing for even greater wealth transfer.

The rigged markets of socialist Europe are far more transparent, fairer and free, whereas our "free market" is opaque, completely unfair, totally impossible to understand and offers very little in terms of real free market choice. Yet we are brainwashed to think that our system is superior, due to the propaganda the industry pumps out.

I'm less concerned if they're scamming the insurance (although I'm existentially and politically interested) than billing of individuals.
Dropbox gives you 2TB for $10/month.

Office 365 Business Essentials, which is the cheapest plan and comes with 1 TB of storage (as you said) is $5/user/month*6users = $30/month

So same price for the storage, but you also get the web and mobile versions of the Office apps. The desktop versions cost extra. I've gotten along fine the last few months with just web and mobile though.

Depends. If they lose to AB5, it's immediately over. You see, Uber is not a cab company masquerading as a tech company. No, it has become the latest attempt in a very long list of various form of attempts to essentially roll back the New Deal, undo all the progress organized labor made. Recommended reading: Invisible Hands by Kim Phillips-Fein, this covers the first few decades closing with Reagan (and almost starting with him, too). https://www.wwnorton.co.uk/books/9780393337662-invisible-han... If you consider it from that angle, then pouring billions into it is not that much of an investment. But if AB5 forces Uber to make their drivers employees then the "gig economy" is practically over and with it, Uber as well.

I don't understand the arguments that private health care is better because of competition. What competition? I can't comparison shop for health insurance, if I don't use what my employer chooses I have to pay thousands of dollars more in premiums for an even worse plan. And then I am limited in the providers available by the network. Not to mention that comparing prices is impossible when you don't know the price until months after you receive the service.
Are units like MPa or psi not commonly understood by the science-curious public?

Well no, nor is the term "strength". Is it yield strength, fracture toughness, youngs modulus, etc, etc? Is that tensile, compression or shear you are talking about? Carbon fibre is strong, but how about if you hit it with a brick, then normal wood is "stronger". And then there is anisotropic behavior...
This stuff is complex.
Sure, but it's not clear-cut. Executives can be (in good faith) fooled and that's a problem. You can't just jail people just because. I'm happy seeing the Purdue Pharma people get strung up, but I think we need due process and reasonable doubt as well.

I think I get what you're aiming at in your explanation, but you're not being quite explicit enough about how those shifts map to multiplications, and having to assume a world where 1 >> 1 is 0.5 is... consistent, but counterintuitive.

But I think what you're aiming to say is:

r << 5 | r << 2 | r >> 1 amounts (because r is constrained to three bits) to being the same as

r << 5 + r << 2 + r >> 1

And r << 5 is r * 32, r << 2 is r * 4, and r >> 1 is floor(r / 2)

So the whole thing is

r * 32 + r * 4 + floor(r * 0.5)

which is the same as

floor(r * 32 + r * 4 + r * 0.5)

or

floor(r * 36.5)

What we should do is declare that you can't charge any patient more than you charge Medicare. Single pricer.
In some sense ok. But practically we really need to accept that there are a range of apolitical opinions. There is a massive issue with this proposed alternative - it is divisive. That line of thinking leads to the classic "with us or against us" style model where one group accepts there is a problem, defines group boundaries then labels everyone not in the group as part of the problem.

If that framing takes hold (and if "can't be apolitical" becomes the dominant philosophy then it will take hold amongst the activists); what is the plan for resolving the issue? Once people are publicly labelled as 'tacitly endorsing' something that they aren't going to be receptive to new ideas.

In terms of actually doing something there is more power in inclusive ideologies where everyone puts their preferences on the table, listens to alternatives and discusses options with people they don't necessarily agree with, and pick a solution that is as fair and reasonable as possible and the people who are disadvantaged accept it on the grounds that they'll get a win next time.

Division is one of a couple of easy paths to conflict. Best to avoid it and let people claim neutrality.

I don't know what Chinese strawberries are like, but I always figured that American strawberries are watery and sour because they're not only big, but they're also grown too quickly for flavor to develop. I think they're engineered to artificially mature early and are basically still unripe.

>I think a lot of people in the tech community need to come to grips with the fact that you can't be apolitical in a democratic country.

Sounds like an argument against democracy, so I think you should either reevaluate your notion of "being apolitical", or reevaluate your argument.
You'll notice all those cheap packages from China come stamped "Petit Paquet," which is to say surfaces mail. Now go to the post office and try to ship something out surface mail and you will find it's impossible... express service is the ONLY way that the USPS will ship internationally, as of a decade or so ago. You cannot compare shipping prices to and from China because you are comparing two totally different services. If the USPS would once again start doing surface mail abroad it might be possible for American companies to sell small items abroad again.
No, that doesn't seem quite right. I think the issue is that people don't understand just how valuable their data is.

Technically, it's posed as an exchange. People "pay" their data to get these services. People so freely give their data/privacy so much that at this point, it's a required part of using most of humanity's technology. The icon exists, it's called the power button, because if you stop paying, they don't provide the service anymore.

Don't get me wrong, it's a terrible state of affairs, and plenty of people don't even realize they're "paying" like this (likely on purpose, data is much more valuable when people don't realise the data is being collected). But there's no competition, no alternate provider of free maps & guidance that is as good as google maps and protects privacy.

So yes, of course. For the same reason that if I could simply poke an icon and receive $1000, of course I would do that.
USPS is actually adequately funded. However, a Republican congress saddled them with having to fund 70 years of pensions up front, something that Republicans somehow don't seem to care about when the pension obligations belong to a company like Bethlehem Steel.

In addition, we fund the Post Office in order to maintain connection to those parts of the country that profit wouldn't connect. So, ironically, if we demand that the Post Office be more profitable, the first people to suffer would be those calling for its head. But, then, that's become pretty much standard operating procedure in US politics.

And, historically in the US, a Post Office generally was more than just mail. You could go there to pay your bills, send money, etc. This is an artifact of the Post Office generally being associated with the General Store.

For example, it pains me to see all the "Paycheck Cashing" places that are so predatory when the Post Office could do this effectively for free and make money on the float.
Cerebras' Enormous Artificial Intelligence Chip Is the Size of an iPad
This another in a long string of failures in generic regulations that underscore broader problems pertaining to regulation in the US healthcare system. There's this theoretical land of regulation, what the consumers and citizens are encouraged to presume, and what actually happens.

It's been common, for instance, for people to repeatedly be berated for paying more for name brand. Studies in fact, of the public health economics of it, why people pay more for name brands, trying to understand it as if there are deficiencies in consumer reasoning.

This is despite repeated problems with generic suppliers overseas, mainly India, diluting medications. This was uncovered, problems were corrected, and then it happened again.

And now this.

So who exactly is the rational purchaser? The person who buys generics under the assumption that they are chemically equivalent, or the skeptic who prefers to have transparency about where their medications are coming from, and purchases brand names?

My point isn't to berate the FDA as incompetent -- I think they're overburdened -- but I do think there are broader problems involving a disconnect between how we discuss regulatory systems in the US and what actually happens. To me, this is just the tip of the iceberg. My personal opinion is the FDA needs to focus solely on this kind of problem -- ensuring drugs are what they are labeled to be -- with maybe some substantial research into effectiveness -- and to drop its regulatory role as drug police.

I repeat: if you have a point to make, prioritize it over pointing out my grammar or qualifying the way I present my comment.

Really, say it because I have no idea what your position is and we have been communicating a bit at this point.

You have repeated twice now that the government's bargaining power, is impaired. Yes, that's what I said in my parent comment 2 days ago. Why are you repeating what I said, to me?

No, my previous comment was not ad hominem because I didn't know the position you were taking and I still dont know what position you have on the matter. I noticed tunnel vision on your part that was imparing the quality of the conversation and I suggested a technique I often follow myself. If you want to argue the semantics of an ad hominem, I am out of time.

Is your point that the government's bargaining power, which is impaired, less than the bargaining power citizens like you and I possess?

To clarify: My point, with the tenuous analogies included, is: the government's bargaining power, even after being severly impaired, is still superior to the bargaining power citizens like you and I possess when it comes to negotiating the prices of drugs that we need to get and be better.

Other developed countries recognize this and exploit it to the benefit of their citizens. Perhaps we should think of something similar but outside government.

Essentially everyone wants to change the system. The problem is that half of the voters want to fix it by having the government provide universal coverage, and half want to fix it by getting government out of the picture as much as possible and letting the market solve everything.

I was diagnosed with a specific medical condition that gave me a lot of information about where things had gone wrong.

I did a lot of research into what kinds of nutrients I was likely short on.

I started with supplements because they are far easier to deal with. This comment by me might cast a little light on that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20714419

Some things I found useful:

Celtic sea salt is the single best sea salt. But any sea salt, kosher salt or canning and pickling salt is better than table salt.

If you are on any medication whatsoever, research "nutrient depletions" for that drug. So, for example, if you take Ibuprofen a lot, it depletes a specific B vitamin. This helps you determine specific nutrients you probably need.

Keep a food journal.

Look up super foods. So, for example, when I decided to work on my selenium deficiency, I ate one or more Brazil nuts most days for about six months until I was sick of them and apparently no longer deficient because they are crazy high in selenium.

(Quick and dirty answer. Not to be mistaken for a comprehensive answer.)

I was scrolling through and thinking of RPS exactly. Very interesting post.

I once played my younger brother to 50 wins (whoever got there first was the unquestioned champion of RPS). It got very, very meta and there was drama in every round. We would pace around planning the next move and then meet up and shoot. An unexpected outcome after that much planning and pressure created some hilarity.

Long story short, I beat him 50-28, so I do feel I was out leveling/reading him to some degree. Maybe some obvious pattern I picked up on but didn't notice.

Ps, we were both adults. Great game though.
> dealing with an inherently highly social arena -- politics -- at a young age, isn't that something we should wonder at?

Perhaps. Yet by being known for being direct, and somewhat asocial as seems to be the case with many with autism, she seems to have been uniquely able to cut through the bullshit. I can think of few others that so many politicians would have been willing to listen to, to anything like the same extent. Except other politicians and heads of state.

I well understand the concern about possible future consequences. Not sure how stridently I'd try and prevent her if she were my child though. That's the sort of thing that may have the kid packing and leaving if you try and stop it. Heck, all kids are in a fishbowl thanks to social, YT etc.

I've not heard of social programming - it doesn't seem to be among the support my mate with the autistic child received. It manages to sound rather dystopian.
